And the days, Uriel showed me; the angel whom the Lord of glory appointed over all the luminaries. Of heaven in heaven, and in the world; that they might rule in the face of the sky, and appearing over the earth, become Conductors of the days and nights: the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the ministers of heaven, which make their circuit with all the chariots of heaven. - Enoch 74:7-9

Introduction Prior to releasing this book, I had been working towards the publication of 2 others 1) one on the war in heaven and 2) another, a book of prose on my esoteric observations of world events in connection to New World Order. Those efforts were delayed, however by some of my listeners’ insistence that I look into what I considered then to be a complete waste of time and effort, the flat vs. round earth debate as model for world. Being limited by my disability to around 5-6 hours of which I can actually sit in wheelchair to be productive with tasks that I cannot do when not sitting, I am and have been stingy with that time as I don’t like not being productive. Therefore, I was and had been extremely reluctant to even begin looking into an area of research I believed to be outdated, meaningless, and scientifically resolved hundreds of years ago. If you’re anything like I was when I initially heard about this debate, you probably consider study of the flat earth utter nonsense and a most ridiculous endeavor to even begin. Admittedly, I thought the same. Even at the insistence of some of my closest confidants, I was initially dead set against opening myself up to it as possibility and only gave in after so many declarations by listeners I consider to be friends of “there’s something to it” and “you teach things that nobody else will touch, and cover truths that everyone else avoids.” This coaxing reminded me of several quotes that I ended the introduction to my fourth book Lucifer - Father of Cain with, where I asked people to suspend their beliefs and to review the information without bias regarding the topic of that book. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. – Proverbs 18:13 7
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. – Proverbs 25:2 Jesus said, The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves. – Gospel of Thomas 39 There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is condemnation before investigation. – Edmund Spencer And thus, I found myself in position to either pick up study of the flat earth or prove myself a hypocrite. My friends were finally successful in breaking down my objections to investigating it as topic and so I decided to give it a few days of going into it with open mind. Begrudgingly, I laid aside all my other tasks to focus on the flat earth and started down the rabbit hole fully expecting to come up somewhere in China. To my quick surprise and utter shock, not only did I find enough evidence to warrant further research, I discovered a treasure trove of overwhelming data which corroborating postulation, soon challenged my mind with how and why I ever came to believe in a spherical globe like earth in the first place. I kept finding myself thinking, how did we ever become as humanity so profoundly locked into the mindset that we live on a planet which daily spins as it orbits annually around the sun in the first place?
8
So profoundly impacted was I the first day I woke to this discernment, I wrote essentially what became 3 different poems about my awakening to these new introspection. From there I preceded doing broadcasts to discuss my investigation of the flat earth, opening them with the poems that I had written. I then found out how really controversial this topic was, as many of my listeners frowned upon my efforts, considering it as topic extreme lunatic fringe even for me. Many were concerned that I would lose the respect and credibility I had garnered from my peers and add fuel to the fire of those that already thought me crazy, furthering their impression of me which in consequence would make them look bad. It’s now probably a month since I hesitantly began to watch some of the videos that were sent to me by my listeners and friends on the topic of the flat or geocentric earth and having exhausted all those leads, I soon found myself clicking on all the YouTube recommended videos. Having more questions than answers I was unable to divert my focus from this topic. It only took a few days of solid research to bring me to the point where there was no doubt in my mind that we absolutely did not live on a spherical planet and that the scientific communities especially NASA were and had been collaborating in a cover-up of the flat earth as occult secret. Two questions kept running through my mind 1) why would the science community want to cover up the real shape of the earth and 2) why would the Most High have me focused on this topic, now when I was so close to completing several other projects? After investigating the scientific, NASA orientated side of the flat earth conspiracy, I began to research the Biblical prophetic side of this topic and that’s when the final few 9
pieces of the puzzle fell into place locking me forever to this mindset. There would never ever be any turning back for me as I discovered that the scriptural accounts do indeed describe the creation of the earth as a giant circular, flat, immovable, fixed, and firm foundation for the heavenly luminaries. The sun, moon, planets, and stars then placed being into its firmament to serve as indicators for the measurement of time according to the days, weeks, months, and years. This is also why in Genesis, the earth is described as having been created first and established as foundation for the heavenly luminaries created later. I was able to then investigate the original context and meanings of those passages which I thought were relevant to this study by using the Strong’s Concordance. As a tool this gave me the ability to see how the original Hebrew was translated into the English words which are used in those passages which I found of interest in the King James Version of the bible. This effort became supremely relevant to what I discovered was the gospels support of the flat earth as model for world. And just to confirm that I was on the right track in my study of this topic, I also searched the bible code to see if this information might have been encoded as matrix and lo and behold it was. Not only did I discover a matrix in connection to the flat earth as topic but one with more than 11 words. I say more than 11 because the search bar only allows the entry of a certain number of characters for search. I had found enough key words to warrant break up of all those terms into two separate matrices. The first bible code that I located was such an extensive cipher that the mathematical probability of it being accidental approaches near impossible. 10
The final piece of the puzzle which lead to the temporary suspension of my other writing projects and immediate begin of this book, had to do with the portion of the Book of Enoch entitled The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries. I had first read the Book of Enoch in 1988 and numerous times since 2006 when studying for segments of my previous 8 books especially in connection to the topic of the Nephilim of Genesis 6 which the Book of Enoch conveys in extensive detail. I discovered that during these earlier readings whenever I got to the portion on the courses of the heavenly luminaries that no matter how much I studied them, I could not understand that portion of the text and so would always skip ahead to the next part. Shortly after accepting the flat earth as model for world, I decided to revisit those chapter’s to see if my new understanding would somehow mirror what Enoch was sharing as motion for the sun and moon. As I began to read chapters 71-82, I found to my utter amazement that I was indeed able to grasp those passages. I knew then that the vision that the angel Uriel had shown to Enoch could only be deciphered if one were to imagine Enoch’s description of the revolution of the sun and the moon as seen from above the flat circle of the earth as described by Isaiah; and that Enoch must have been taken up to where perhaps Polaris is, centered directly above the North Pole, and while looking down upon the backdrop of the earth, was in that way instructed on the motions of the sun, moon, and stars. Without such conception, it is in my opinion impossible to apply the descriptions of their motions to model of the earth as a spherical planet. Having discernment of the flat earth was key that allowed me to decipher as revelation The Book of the Courses of the 11
Heavenly Luminaries contained in the Book of Enoch. I knew immediately then that there were probably not many individuals alive today which understood what I now knew since most of the world still believes that the earth spins once daily as it orbits annually around the sun. And so I searched the Internet and Amazon to see if anyone had written a book which united the concepts of the flat earth with the Book of Enoch. And because I did not find anything of the sort, I decided to begin that day, an outline which lead to the chapters of this book. I felt like publication of a book uniting these two topics, would both pique the interest of more Christians involving them in discussion and research on the flat earth as so many of the leading voices are openly agnostic or atheistic as well as intrigue secular researchers to renewed interest in possible study of not only the Book of Enoch, but other Biblical sources such as the authorized canon and Book of Jubilees. I knew that unless one was able to embrace the flat earth as discernment, one would fail to grasp as I had prior, the complexity of Enoch’s revelation as well as this book’s endeavor to explain The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries. And even though there are researchers that do understand the portions of it which are connected to the descriptions of the phases and movements of the moon, I imagine that very few over the last 500 years since acceptance of heliocentric ideology, have been able to grasp those portions written describing the motions of the sun above the earth. And while I do believe that ancient peoples because of their geocentric worldview were able to understand those portions and what I will be endeavoring to explain within this book, such understanding has been lost to modern peoples for quite some time until now. 12
From them I heard all things, and understood what I saw; that which will not take place in this generation, but in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period, on account of the elect. – The Book of Enoch 1:2 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. – Daniel 12:4 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. – Ecclesiastes 1:9 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. - Luke 8:17 According to these passages, many things which had become lost, forbidden, forgotten, or purposely disappeared, would reemerge at the end of days for those that would be alive during what Yahushua referred to in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13 as the blooming of the fig tree. The parable of the fig tree for those that don’t know, is symbolic of the regathering of the Hebraic peoples and recreation of the nation of Israel which occurred May 14th, 1948. He said in those scriptures that the generation which would be alive to witness this event, would also be the generation which would be alive to see not only the fulfillment of those passages related to those specific chapters but also His return, judgment, and the descent of New Jerusalem. And since a large portion of the scriptures both canonical and 13
extra-Biblical had been written about the end of days, it is my opinion that those alive now are those which will witness the prophetic fulfillment of the many passages which detail the period we are living in right now. This is also why in my opinion, so many of those things which had been lost in connection to the prior times such as knowledge, artifacts, mythology, technology, techniques, and even entire megalithic sites including cities of grand proportion, are all just now coming to light. [32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: [33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. [34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. [35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. [36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. [37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, [39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. – Matthew 24:32-39 And ye, take ye the likeness thereof (learn a parable) from the fig-tree: so soon as the shoot thereof is come forth and the twigs grown, the end of the world shall come. And I, Peter, answered and said unto him: Interpret unto me concerning the fig-tree, whereby we shall perceive it; for 14
throughout all its days doth the fig-tree send forth shoots, and every year it bringeth forth its fruit for its master. What then meaneth the parable of the fig-tree? We know it not. And the Master (Lord) answered and said unto me: Understandest thou not that the fig-tree is the house of Israel? Even as a man that planted a fig-tree in his garden, and it brought forth no fruit. And he sought the fruit thereof many years and when he found it not, he said to the keeper of his garden: Root up this fig-tree that it make not our ground to be unfruitful. And the gardener said unto God: (Suffer us) to rid it of weeds and dig the ground round about it and water it. If then it bear not fruit, we will straightway remove its roots out of the garden and plant another in place of it. Hast thou not understood that the fig-tree is the house of Israel? Verily I say unto thee, when the twigs thereof have sprouted forth in the last days, then shall feigned Christs come and awake expectation saying: I am the Christ, that am now come into the world. And when they (Israel) shall perceive the wickedness of their deeds they shall turn away after them and deny him [whom our fathers did praise], even the first Christ whom they crucified and therein sinned a great sin. But this deceiver is not the Christ. And when they reject him he shall slay with the sword, and there shall be many martyrs. Then shall the twigs of the fig-tree, that is, the house of Israel, shoot forth: many shall become martyrs at his hand. Enoch and Elias shall be sent to teach them that this is the deceiver which must come into the world and do signs and wonders to deceive. And therefore shall they that die by his hand be martyrs, 15
and shall be reckoned among the good and righteous martyrs who have pleased God in their life. – Ethiopic, Apocalypse of Peter As the fig tree and last generation (refer to chapter 15 of my fourth book Lucifer - The Father of Cain for a detailed explanation of this teaching) we are only now to understand these concepts and the many other revelations which I believe have, are, and will be coming to light even right now. It has always been that ancient mysteries like gospel secrets, cannot be resolved until one has the eyes to see, ears to hear, and mind to understand and that certain scriptures, chapters, teachings, and entire texts will always read meaningless like the riddles of ancient language, until one comes across, or is granted insight which will as key enable one to unlock and grasp in context what is truly being related. I believe this book to be the key which can allow one to decrypt The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, but only if one can open oneself up to such possibility. I pray that you as reader can do just that, coming to this discourse with open mind. For if one does study this book with that kind of a mindset then perhaps like me the Most High will lead you in the rediscovery of some of the many secrets which had been lost to our ancient past. The seekers of lost paradise may seem as if fools to those whom have never sought the other worlds.

[1] Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, [2] Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? [3] Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. [4] Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. [5] Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? [6] Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; [7] When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? [8] Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? [9] When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, [10] And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, [11] And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? [12] Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; [13] That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? [14] It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. [15] And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. [16] Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? [17] Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? [18] Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. [19] Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, [20] That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof? [21] Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? [22] Hast thou entered into 17
the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, [23] Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? [24] By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? [25] Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; [26] To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; [27] To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? [28] Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? [29] Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? [30] The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. [31] Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? [32] Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? [33] Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? [34] Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? [35] Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? [36] Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? [37] Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, [38] When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? [39] Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, [40] When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? [41] Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat. [1] Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? 18
[2] Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? [3] They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. [4] Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. [5] Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? [6] Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. [7] He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. [8] The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. [9] Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? [10] Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? [11] Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? [12] Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? [13] Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? [14] Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, [15] And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. [16] She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; [17] Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. [18] What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. [19] Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? [20] Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. [21] He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. [22] He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. [23] The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the 19
shield. [24] He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. [25] He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. [26] Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? [27] Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? [28] She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. [29] From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. [30] Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she. [1] Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, [2] Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. [3] Then Job answered the LORD, and said, [4] Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. [5] Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. [6] Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, [7] Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. [8] Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? [9] Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? [10] Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. [11] Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. [12] Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. [13] Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. [14] Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. – Job 38:1-41, 39:1-30, 40:1-14 20
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. - Isaiah 58:12

Chapter 1 – Why Study of the Flat Earth is Important? When I first woke up to the revelation that we live on a flat earth, I was initially blown away by the thought of how monumental a task it must have been for those in league with the heliocentric conspiracy, capacity to pull it off and perpetuate it for so long. I just couldn’t wrap my mind around, how much necessary effort would have had to of been put forth, in order to usurp the then belief in a Geocentric world. How many lies had to have been told, how many bribes made, in order to overthrow and secure in one felled swoop, the agreement of the then scientific establishment. I mean this is a massive deception of ‘global’ scale involving many nations of people. How many of the most-well respected historically recognized and celebrated scientific minds, had to have been willing accomplices in order for ‘them’ to achieve the results that they did in leading astray the whole world? How does one even begin to grasp the entanglement of so many in what was coup d’état and crowning achievement for Lucifer as sun-god, in his efforts to be like the Most High. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. – Isaiah 14:13-14 The demotion of the earth as the preeminent focus of God’s universe, to that of just another one of the planetary subjects comprising the ‘solar system’ was such a perfectly 23
orchestrated hoax, it set the foundation for the later acceptance of Darwinism and belief that man evolved from some apelike ancestor. Science as religion has separated people from inherent belief in intelligent design and knowledge that we share a special covenant with the Creator, being made in His image as crowning achievement of the creation He established for us, to belief in all things having just come about as random chance without necessary involvement from some grand designer. Dumbfounded I had been trying to understand why, more so than how they were able to do it? And now that I am awake to such discernment, how was it going to affect me personally in life and perspective? How would I apply this new found knowledge to the legacy of my work, and how was I even going to reassess all that I had already done in relation to what I now knew? All of these thoughts were exploding in my mind as I continued to devour everything I could find in regards to this area of research. It was just about three weeks later that the Most High lead me to revelation which helped me to unlock The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries in the Book of Enoch. Knowing that this information was pertinent to the study of the flat earth and that if anybody had understood it previously, none had attempted to write a book on the decipherment of it, at least not for the last 500 years; I knew that I had to immediately start another book. And so I did. While discussing the topic of the flat earth with one of my really good friends who is also a broadcaster, the question came up as to why he or any one should dedicate any amount of time to studying this topic, when every day the headlines are filled with menacing, impending doom and 24
gloom scenarios such as the possible destabilization of the world’s financial and economic systems, removal of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, possible martial law with FEMA internment camps, destruction of Iran’s nuclear capacity which would kick off a third global war, return of planet X as the wormwood of Revelation, destroyer of the Kolbrin bible, or purifier of Hopi prophecy and the list goes on and on. My friend asked me how and why such discernment really mattered in the grander scheme of things as well as how such knowledge was relevant to his number one priority, the salvation of souls. If we are limited on time and the hour is late as many of us believe it is, and the salvation of souls is the most important aspect of the work that we’re here to do as foot-washers to each other and one another; how is discernment on this topic in any way going to lead people to remembrance on who they are in relation to Christ as savior messiah. Why should he or anyone else even bother looking into this subject matter at all? My answer then was because this information is part of the Biblical truth that is our heritage and legacy as Christians. And that understanding the truth associated with this matter would redefine our understanding of who we are in relation to the earth as our home. That having forgotten how the world was established as a special dwelling place for the equally special covenant that we share with our Maker, we have lost sight of just how miraculous a privilege and special an opportunity the grand experience of life is. And that so long as we follow the ordinances, laws, and commandments that were prescribed through the gospel as guide for our lives, that we would also have a chance to take part in salvation inheriting eternal life. 25
Understanding that the earth is flat also enables one to grasp the order of creation in Genesis and the affirmation of intelligent design governing the establishment of the earth as foundation for the heavens. It affirms how uniquely different the earth is from the infinite number of supposed other planets which science and NASA assert being similar to the earth and which they claim also harbors life having ‘evolved’ in similar manner. This declaration did little to sway him from holding contemptuous disregard for the topic of the flat earth, and how could I really blame him when it wasn’t but a few weeks prior that I shared the exact same sentiments. Even after I tried emphasizing the importance of the flat earth as key for unlocking The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, he still regarded the topic nonsensical and certainly did not share the enthusiasm that I felt when I was initially led to it as revelation. Thinking about the question of why study of the flat earth was important, it wasn’t until a week or so later that the Most High impressed upon me how it as topic relates directly to the issue of salvation. And while I knew that writing about and revealing that the flat earth had been encoded by Enoch into a text thousands of years old, was significant enough as topic to warrant the creation of a book entirely of itself; it wasn’t until I began research on the ancient Hebrew calendar system that I understood the true significance of what Enoch was relating and what I was about to endeavor writing about. And so let me now explain how the flat earth relates to God’s calendar and how God’s calendar relates to salvation.

Chapter 2 – Lost and Forbidden Knowledge I understand now that my work in unlocking The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries has much to do with bringing forth the Most High’s calendar system as presented to Adam before he and Eve were banished from paradise and forced to live in the cave of treasures near the garden of Eden here upon the earth. An ancient text called the Asatir cites Adam being given the Books of Creation listed in various places as - the Book of Signs, the Book of Astronomy, the Book of the Wars of the Lord, and the Book of Generations. It also states that Adam began to teach Enoch from the Book of Signs when he was just 13 years old. It’s my opinion that the vision which the angel Uriel was instructed to share with Enoch, detailing the motions of the sun and moon that later came to be known as The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, that those teachings were based upon these former books. For seven years Noah learned in the Books of Creation i. e., the Book of Signs, and the Book of Astrology and the Book of Wars. These are the Books of Adam. - Asatir, Book of the Secrets of Moses 3:9 And when Enoch grew up and when the days of his life had reached thirteen years, he began to learn in. the Book of Signs which had been given to Adam; and this book was copied on the four and twenty precious stones. - Asatir, Book of the Secrets of Moses 2:7
27
Upon Adam’s death, these books were passed onto Noah, who then passed them on to his son Shem, also known as the high priest Melchizedek. Abraham when 10 years old was led by an angel to the city of Shalom where he also was indoctrinated into the Order of the Ancients and church of the Firstborn. WHEN I was ten years of age, I departed from the cave by night while my mother and my nurse slept and the angel of God met me and led me to the city of Shalom where Noah and his son Shem dwelt, and no man knew where I was. 2. And I dwelt with Noah and Shem for thirtynine years, being instructed in all the ways of the Most High God. 3. And finding great happiness and peace and rest therein, I sought for the blessings of the Fathers and I received, under the direction of Noah and Shem, those instructions whereby I might enter into the Order of the ancients and I became a rightful heir and high priest, holding the right belonging to the Fathers. For I was ushered into the Church of the Firstborn and tasted of the fruits of heavenly life. – Writings of Abraham, 25:1-3 When Moses and the Israelites were led out of the bondage of Egypt, he was instructed on this calendar system as part of the Torah. And so all of the early Hebrew patriarchs measured and kept track of time according to this ancient calendar system. If you’d like to know more about the Order of the Ancients and the Church of the Firstborn one can refer to the Book of the Order, for more information on the kind of teachings that were passed on and through the patriarchs of old.

And because the Most High wanted this information to be preserved for the latter days, He protected it through the Ethiopic canon so that the Englishman James Bruce could rediscover it in 1773, and then rerelease it to the western Christian world. This event was especially significant because not only did it reintroduce into the consciousness of mainstream Christianity details of this ancient Hebraic calendar system, it also instructed new generations as to whence evil came into the world. And as Paul states in Ephesians chapter six, that as humanity we wrestle not against flesh and blood but powers, principalities, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in high places. The true enemies of humanity are the angels which rebelled against the Most High prior to the war in heaven and the 200 watcher angels that fell during the time of Jared. These are the controllers of the hidden hand which have been plotting throughout all time to dominate humanity under a matrix of control. They have been responsible for inciting wars and unleashing chaos under all guises and forms. They are the true overseers of mankind. Before I elaborate on the ancient Hebrew calendar system I would like to focus a bit on the Book of Enoch’s account of the watcher angels as the reintroduction of this manuscript into western Christian communities reinvigorated much debate on the Genesis 6 connections of the sons of God with the angels of heaven which leaving their holy ordinances abandoned their first estate as alluded to in Jude chapter one and II Peter chapter two. This debate is one of the main reasons why the Book of Enoch was removed from consideration from the Authorized Version of the canon in the first place. 29
And because it had been mostly eradicated so that it was no longer easily found for reference, most Christians were no longer familiar with the importance of this story and how it relates to our ancient past. [6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. [7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. [8] Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. [9] Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. [10] But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. [11] Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. [12] These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; [13] Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 30
[14] And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. [16] These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. [17] But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; [18] How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. [19] These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. – Jude 1:6-19 Behold, he comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon them, and destroy the wicked, and reprove all the carnal for everything which the sinful and ungodly have done, and committed against him. – The Book of Enoch 2:1 [4] For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; [5] And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; [6] And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an 31
overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; [7] And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: [8] (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) [9] The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: [10] But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. [11] Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. [12] But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; [13] And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; [14] Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: [15] Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; [16] But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. [17] These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 32
[18] For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. [19] While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. [20] For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. [21] For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. [22] But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. – II Peter 2:4-22 Jude says of these angels that they kept not their first estate that they left their place of habitation, and giving themselves unto fornication went after strange flesh according to the carnal lust of the body. This is exactly what Enoch describes of the 200 watchers which left their place in the heavens and coming down on Mount Hermon, made a mutual pact to take wives of all which they had chosen and to not waver from the deed that was about to be done. And even though they knew that what they were about to embark upon as endeavor would be considered great sin, (one that could bring down upon them the wrath of their Creator), they went ahead and did it anyways. This I believe is why Jude alludes to the Book of Enoch, so as to connect this particular event with that particular book. 33
Peter also speaks of the angels which sinning were cast down to hell, chained in darkness, and which were to be reserved unto the time of judgment. When one studies the extra Biblical accounts, one finds in many places passages which connect to the unfolding of this event and which together stand as confirming witness to the reality of this story as a whole, strange as it sounds. They also attest to the very reality of an army of evil angels which as legion are here to lead astray, deceive, and manipulate humanity into action which considered sin, would exclude the children of the God from the rewards of salvation as they want not one of us to inherit the ordinances that they abandoned, but instead want all to fall with them in condemnation when Yahushua returns to assume His judgment seat. It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children. Then their leader Samyaza said to them; I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise; And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime. But they answered him and said; We all swear; And bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking. Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. 34
Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, which is the top of mount Armon. That mountain therefore was called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, and bound themselves by mutual execrations. These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. And the women conceiving brought forth giants, Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them; When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them; And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood. Then the earth reproved the unrighteous. – The Book of Enoch 7:115 One can see how the above chapter elaborates in great detail on the brief mention of the Sons of God that mated with the daughters of man in Genesis 6 which resulted in the conception of giants. In these elaborations Enoch details the origins of evil in many forms attributing them to the relinquishment of heavenly secrets by the watchers, and how this led to the production of weapons of war, which in 35
turn led to the slaughter of countless numbers of peoples. They were also the source which inspired humanity’s involvement with the dark arts of sorcery, alchemy, and conjuration as well as many other detestable practice. The introduction of these kinds of teachings overtook the natural harmony leading world into widespread madness. By the time of Noah’s day most of the children of Adam, had like the angels which abandoned their first estate, left the holy mountain where they resided, to involve themselves in carnal pleasure with the children of Cain. 30 But they rose up against Enoch, and would not hearken to his words, but went down from the Holy Mountain. 31 And when they looked at the daughters of Cain, at their beautiful figures, and at their hands and feet dyed with colour, and tattooed in ornaments on their faces, the fire of sin was kindled in them. 32 Then Satan made them look most beautiful before the sons of Seth, as he also made the sons of Seth appear of the fairest in the eyes of the daughters of Cain, so that the daughters of Cain lusted after the sons of Seth like ravenous beasts, and the sons of Seth after the daughters of Cain, until they committed abomination with them. 33 But after they had thus fallen into this defilement, they returned by the way they had come, and tried to ascend the Holy Mountain. But they could not, because the stones of that holy mountain were of fire flashing before them, by reason of which they could not go up again. - 2nd Book of Adam and Eve 20:30-33 The madness spread by the teachings of the watchers was compounded by the presence of the giants here upon the earth. Because of their large statures many were unable to 36
be conceived naturally resulting in the death of their mothers. Growing quickly they surpassed size in which they were able to copulate with normal human women. This cause them to turn to other creatures and then to each other for the fulfillment of their sexual lust. The origins of both homosexuality and bestiality are linked to them. The Book of Giants from the Dead Sea Scrolls references how the giants were responsible for the miscegenation, corruption, and manifestation of other unnatural hybrid beings. Berossus describes the strange creatures that came about from such unnatural couplings. Their voracious appetites eventually led them to consumption of human flesh and blood. There was a time in which there was nothing but darkness and an abyss of waters, wherein resided most hideous beings, which were produced of a twofold principle. Men appeared with two wings, some with four and with two faces. They had one body but two heads; the one of a man, the other of a woman. They were likewise in their several organs both male and female. Other human figures were to be seen with the legs and horns of goats. Some had horses' feet; others had the limbs of a horse behind, but before were fashioned like men, resembling hippocentaurs. Bulls likewise bred there with the heads of men; and dogs with fourfold bodies, and the tails of fishes. Also horses with the heads of dogs: men too and other animals, with the heads and bodies of horses and the tails of fishes. In short, there were creatures with the limbs of every species of animals. Add to these fishes, reptiles, serpents, with other wonderful animals, which assumed each other's shape and countenance. Of all these were preserved 37
delineations in the temple of Belus at Babylon. Berossus These anathema together forced God’s hand, causing Him to have to levy judgment upon the whole earth as a way to reset all things, giving Noah and family chance to repopulate the plane of the earth without having to encounter these ‘men of renown.’ I believe that the Most High wanted the detail of these stories to come to light again so that modern humanity could understand how our ancient past led us to where we are now as world, and that this was one of the major reasons why this text was preserved and protected for nowhere else in any one single source is this story captured in such elaboration as within the Book of Enoch. Its connection to these stories, however are not the only reasons why God wanted this text to be preserved and then restored to humanity. In my opinion, He also wanted future generations to know about 1) the code contained within it which when broken confirms the earth as a flat circular plane. 2) That it also contained within it details of the calendar system which when understood makes possible the determination of when Sabbath truly occurs. These little spoken about components of the Book of Enoch are integral reasons why I believe He preserved it for later restoration as understanding of the ancient Hebrew calendar system would allow YHWH’s followers capacity to realign with Sabbath and in that way also realign with the seven holy feast days and festivals as cited in Leviticus chapter 23. I believe this book to be part of that journey of restoration.

Chapter 3 – The Ancient Hebrew Calendar I will in the following chapters relate how the flat earth as model for world ties in with not only The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries but also with the ancient Hebrew calendar system. This study enables one to determine when new moon day occurs according to Enoch which in turn assists one in making sense of God’s calendar system. The determination of new moon is key for unlocking each of the lunar months of this calendar system, as the remaining days and weeks align to this one particular day and phase of the moon. This information will also demonstrate how many mainstream Christians are currently involved in a form of worship which marrying paganism to the traditional Hebrew faith, created a religious amalgamation called ‘Christianity’ which has many of them unwittingly involved in worship of pagan deities and holidays which the Most High considers a form of idolatry. This deception has many regularly breaking these two commandments: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. - Exodus 20: 3, 8 The Most High knew that the ancient calendar system which He had given to His people would both be altered and then lost, and that the adherence of the above two commandments would no longer be possible once this happened. He also foresaw how such occurrence would enable Satan to further lead easily astray His people, involving them unknowingly in other forms of idolatry which could detrimentally affect their eternal inheritance. 39
Knowing all of these things He would at the end of days lead the reemergence of truth in way that would restore awareness of His calendar to those that sought understanding of it. 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 And command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according to this reckoning- three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their testimony, and they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts. But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to His commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be dislodged from this (order), [and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged] and they will neglect their ordinances. And all the children of Israel will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and seasons, and sabbaths and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years. For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto thee, and it is not of my own devising; for the book (lies) written before me, and on the heavenly tablets 40
the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after their ignorance. For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of the moon -how (it) disturbs the seasons and comes in from year to year ten days too soon. For this reason the years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees. For this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayst testify to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the new moons and seasons and sabbaths and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh. - The Book of Jubilees 6:32-38 These passages illustrate how the Most High had foreseen that the calendar system would be changed and how Sabbath instead of being determined by new moon, would be associated with a specific day of the week (Sunday), and in this way would confound observance of the Levitical holy days. According to the Gregorian calendar, for modern Jews, Sabbath occurs every Friday at sunset to every Saturday sunset. For Seventh Day Adventists, 41
Sabbath occurs every Saturday. And for modern Christians Sabbath occurs every Sunday. Would it surprise you to know that according to the ancient Hebrew calendar, all of them are wrong? In the next chapter I will explain why they are wrong, how the Most High’s lunar based calendar system differs from the Julian, Gregorian solar based calendar system, and why determining Sabbath by them is impossible, as well as why such determination if one wants to be correct, can only be made using God’s lunar based system.
42
Chapter 4 – God’s Calendar Explained Knowing the end from the beginning, the Most High knew that the Roman emperors, Pharisee leadership, and the Catholic Church under the guidance of Satan would all work in accord to denigrate use of the ancient Hebrew calendar disrupting the mandated adherence of the holy days celebrated by the Israelites. And because most do not understand the history connected to the implementation of the Julian and then later Gregorian solar based calendar systems or how Sabbath was affixed to a particular day of the week, few people truly understand how the observance of the Sabbath was compromised or how this disrupted the timing of the Levitical feast days. Pressure to abandon the ancient Hebrew lunar based calendar, enforcing the rapid assimilation of the Julian solar based calendar, was so severe during ancient Roman times those whom resisted its implementation, were tortured to death as way to set precedence for change. But even under the threat of such severe punishment looming over them, many refused to comply because the days of the week on the Julian calendar had been named after pagan deities, making their observation of it idolatrous. Many chose to suffer death rather than adhere. Eventually though the struggle against its forced implementation faded as its use spread wide with the extension of the Roman Empire. The most diehard holdouts were slaughtered, the rest conceded and by the fourth century A.D. even the Jews accepted the observance of Sabbath to an affixed day of the week, forever confounding the regulation of time as relegated by the Most High’s calendar system. 43
The role Mithraism played in restructuring the Julian week is significant for it was a strong competitor of early Christianity. It seems as if some spiritual genius having control over the pagan world had so ordered things that the heathen planetary week should be introduced just at the right time for the most popular Sun cult of all ages to come along and exalt the day of the Sun as a day above and more sacred than all the rest. Surely this was not accidental. Odom, op.cit. Under these two factors, the Julian week began a centuries-long evolutionary process that ended in the week, as it is known today. The original seven day planetary week is the third and final piece of the puzzle proving that Saturday is not the scriptural Sabbath, nor Sunday the first day of the Hebrew week. This transformation took several hundred years. Franz Cumont, widely considered to be a great authority on Mithraism, links the acceptance of the seven-day week by Europeans to the popularity of Mithraism in pagan Rome: It is not to be doubted that the diffusion of the Iranian [Persian] mysteries has had a considerable part in the general adoption, by the pagans, of the week with the Sunday as a holy day. The names, which we employ for the other six days, came into use at the same time that Mithraism won its followers in the provinces in the west, and one is not rash in establishing a relation of coincidence between its triumph and that concomitant phenomenon. - Franz Cumont, Textes et Monumnets Figures Relatifs aux Mysteres de Mithra12 44
In his book Astrology and Religion among the Greeks and Romans, Cumont further emphasizes the pagan origins and recent adoption of a seven-day week with its holy day being Sunday: The pre-eminence assigned to the dies Solis [day of the Sun] also certainly contributed to the general recognition of Sunday as a holiday. This is connected with a more important fact, namely, the adoption of the week by all the European nations. - Franz Cumont, Astrology and Religion among the Greeks and Romans The fact that Christians had accepted both the Julian calendar and the pagan planetary/gods week for use reveals the beginnings of an amalgamation of Christianity with paganism. The pagan planetary/gods week, like the Julian calendar that adopted it, is irreparably pagan. Historical facts reveal that neither the scriptural Hebrew Sabbath nor the scriptural First Day can be found using the modern calendar. If it is important to worship on a specific day, than it is also important to know which calendar to use and when the change in calendation occurred. – Christopher Tyreman, The Destruction of Sabbath The confusion surrounding Sabbath was one of the reasons why the Essenes (writers and collectors of the Dead Sea Scrolls) separating themselves, compiled elaborate tables in effort to align both calendars systems together. As followers of YHWH, they were trying to keep track of time according to the new solar based system, so that as a community they could maintain adherence to the Levitical 45
holy days. It is also postulated that the reason they held the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees in high regard, is because both of these texts had incorporated within them great elaboration on how God’s calendar system works. This may also have contributed to why they were eradicated from the authorized canon by the forces put into place by Satan to prevent the continuation of such knowledge. I believe the council of Nicaea was more about hiding the truth and keeping it from the masses, than it was about preserving it for compilation and later dissemination. The belief that Saturday must be the Sabbath of the Bible (because the Jews worship on that day) is an assumption that all Christians have made. However, in light of the fact that the Jews themselves admit that their modern calendar is not the same as that used before the 4th century C.E., Bible scholars and all who love the Sabbath would do well to reexamine this long-held belief. If it is important to worship on a precise, specific day, than the calendar by which you calculate that day must also be the correct calendar. The luni-solar calendar is the only calendar which has roots in the Bible. It was established by God at Creation. All other calendars have roots in paganism. To truly keep the fourth commandment, the Sabbath should be calculated by God’s calendar: the moon. There are four main areas in which the original calendar differs from the replacement: - The original scriptural lunar calendar uses only the lunar cycle and the ripening barley harvest to set weeks, months and years. 46
- The Julian/Gregorian replacements, being solar calendars, honor the sun god, designed to begin the year just after the “rebirth” of the sun god at the winter solstice. The scriptural Hebrew lunar calendar in no way attaches itself to a time recognizing another god. - The Julian/Gregorian calendars have a continuous weekly cycle of Sunday through Saturday. The original calendar established in the Hebrew texts at the beginning does not. Some months carry an extra day between the last Sabbath of the month and the Sabbath to begin the months. The weekly cycle restarts with each new moon/month. - The modern Lunisolar calendar has each Friday night as Sabbath and fails to observe the instructions for a Sabbath at the sighting of the new moon which begins each Hebrew month as the original scripture based Hebrew lunar calendar commanded. – Christopher Tyreman, The Destruction of Sabbath God’s calendar system is based in every way on the characteristics of the moon during its four quarterly phases. Every month commences with the sighting of the new moon referred to as khodesh, which in Hebrew means ‘the time of the new moon.’ In this system, khodesh is always counted as the first day and Sabbath of each new lunar month. In ancient times, it was the duty of the high priest along with two or three witnesses, to determine when this phase of the moon had occurred since this determination set the fixed orientation of the following four Sabbath weeks. Every month contains five Sabbaths beginning with 47
khodesh and ending with lunar conjunction or what is also known as the dark moon. And even though the new moon is designated as the first day of the month, it is never counted as part of the seven-day weeks of the following four Sabbaths. I will explain this more below but first let me explain what the new moon day is and how it is determined since there is some confusion surrounding its definition. The new moon day according to the ancient Hebrew calendar is different from what science has designated to be new moon. According to science, new moon aligns with what God’s calendar refers to as lunar conjunction or the dark moon, which is the last phase of the moon and day according to His system instead of the first.
Conjunction defined as a noun, is an action or instance which unites the occurrence of two or more events or things to the same point in time or space. Lunar conjunction is therefore defined as the phase of moon which aligned with the sun, accompanies it in circuit rising as it rises, moving across the sky as it does, and then setting as it sets. In astronomy, new moon is the first phase of the Moon, when it orbits as seen from the Earth, the moment when the Moon and the Sun have the same 48
ecliptical longitude. The Moon is not visible at this time except when it is seen in silhouette during a solar eclipse when it is illuminated by earthshine. Wikipedia According to Wikipedia and science, new moon aligns with the dark moon, which again is the last phase of the moon’s cycle according to God’s calendar instead of the first. Be aware of this differentiation as we commence the discussion of how God’s calendar system works in depth, since this distinction will be absolutely critical in regard to the determination of khodesh. There is one other aspect surrounding the timing of the khodesh which also causes confusion in regard to its determination and so I thought this would be an appropriate place to begin commentary on it. Even though the moon will for short time first become visible as a very thin waxing crescent called a ‘Young Moon’ following sunset at the very end of lunar conjunction, this sighting of it is not regarded as khodesh by Enoch or God’s calendar.
Enoch specifies in 72:9 and 77:5 that what the Most High considers to be khodesh, is a waxing crescent which shining by at least a ‘half of a seventh portion of light’ is at least .0714285714285714% full. 49
This particular phase of the moon usually occurs and can be seen anywhere from 24 to 48 hours after lunar conjunction. On these days, it trails behind sunrise by one to several hours, and moving across the sky during the day, becomes clearly visible in western skies when the sun sets, and the sky darkens. In Israel during ancient times trained observers assigned task of watching for khodesh would upon witnessing it, go before the Sanhedrin Council to declare its arrival before the high priest. The high priest would then authorize the announcement of it to the rest of the nation, whereby the shofar (a trumpet made out of ram’s horn) was sounded throughout the land far and wide, informing the Hebrew people of the commencement of the festivities linked to the new moon Sabbath. Being a special day unto God, the Israelites always tithed more in way donation to the temple during khodesh than they did for any of the following four Sabbaths. And on your joyous occasions - your fixed festivals and new moon days - you shall sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your sacrifices of wellbeing. - Numbers 10:10 There are two major differences between how God structured His lunar based calendar system and that the Julian and Gregorian solar based calendar systems, is 1) in God’s calendar system khodesh is excluded from the seven day counts of the following four Sabbath weeks, and 2) the months because they are aligned to the four phases of the moon are never longer than 30 days. The format for His calendar is laid out as follows: 50
Workdays Sabbaths New Moon day 1st Six work days (dates 2nd – 7th) Sabbath 8th Six work days (dates 9th – 14th) Sabbath 15th Six work days (dates 16th – 21st) Sabbath 22nd Six work days (dates 23rd – 28th) Sabbath 29th Translation day, 30th, when needed In modern calendar format, every Hebrew month appears thus: 1 2345678 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29-(30) The 30th of the month, like the first of the month, was not part of the weekly cycle, simply a placeholder to await the adjustment of the lunar cycle. However, it was counted and did have a date, as an account must be made of all time. The original scriptural Hebrew lunar calendar has a periodically added month instead of just a leap day. A solar year of 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds is longer than a lunar year by 10 days, 21 hours and 6.72 minutes. As this extra time accrues, every two to three years a 13th month is required to be added to adjust the Hebrew calendar back to the seasons. The instructions are for determining whether an additional month was needed is simple. If the barley crop is ripe enough to harvest in the eleventh month, then the twelfth month was the end of the year. If the 51
crops were not ready in the twelfth month, then a thirteenth month was added as a “leap month” in that year. This adjusted the lunar calendar back in line with the solar year. Many seem to have trouble with the idea that the system could be that simple.” – Christopher Tyreman, The Destruction of Sabbath Another very interesting correlation between God’s calendar and the moon, is the way that the 5 monthly Sabbaths align to the cycle of its quarterly phases adding to the measure of time, a visual component not present in the solar calendar systems. Khodesh as new moon is always marked by the first Sabbath and day of the new lunar month. It is followed by six working days and then the second Sabbath which always somewhat aligns with first quarter moon. The second Sabbath is then followed by six more working days leading up to the third Sabbath which always somewhat aligns with the full moon, occurring 14 days after the first Sabbath. The third Sabbath is then followed by six more working days leading up to the fourth Sabbath which always somewhat aligns with the third quarter moon, occurring 21 days after the first Sabbath. The fourth Sabbath is then followed by six more working days leading up to the fifth and final Sabbath which always somewhat aligns with lunar conjunction as the last (29th or 30th) day of the month alternatively occurring either 28 or 29 days after the first Sabbath. Every month of this calendar system, begins with a Sabbath and ends with a Sabbath and correspondingly all five Sabbaths together always fall upon similarly the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th or 30th day depending on lunar conjunction. This pattern repeats in exactly the same manner for every one of the 12 lunar months which comprise the year on God’s calendar. 52
When one studies the ancient calendar systems which were in use across the world even in Rome, most of them had been predominately aligned to the moon’s cyclical phases and only deviated from such emphasis much later in history, being replaced by systems which revered the sun and were based upon its annual cycle. The one main difference differentiating the measure of time between the Most High’s lunar-based calendar from that of the Julian, Gregorian solar based systems is the exclusion of khodesh from the count of the other seven days comprising the four weeks of the month. This exclusion is what makes determining when Sabbath occurs impossible on the newer Roman and papal systems since all seven days of every week of every month of these systems, are all strung together in continuous fashion with no regard for the new moon Sabbath. Their months also vary in length without congruency February being shorter (28 days) and other months longer (31 days). And because there is no order or pattern to the indeterminate lengths of each of the months of the solar calendar year, both new moon Sabbath and the weekly Sabbath can occur on any of the days of the week depending upon how the months come together. And whereas they might occur on a Monday of one particular month, they could very well fall on Friday the next month, and possibly Tuesday the following one. This is why mainstream Christianity’s gathering for church service on Sunday as way to honor Sabbath has but a one in seven chance of being right on any given month. And even though sometimes their observance of it does randomly occur on the correct day, the percentages are such that they will mostly be wrong through-out the year. 53
The same applies to the Seventh Day Adventists’ observance of it on Saturday, as well as Jewish observance of it from sun down Friday night, to sun down Saturday night. As group, none of them has greater than one in seven chance of being right on any given month through-out the year, which is why none of these timeframe observances has any true affiliation with Sabbath as determined by God’s calendar, and why it could fall on any day of the week, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or any other. This is also why those that keep track of time utilizing the Julian or Gregorian solar based systems, can never truly know when the new moon Sabbath or weekly Sabbaths occur. The only exception to this rule are those that monitor time utilizing print or online calendars which include symbolic markers depicting the moon’s quarterly phases, but even then one must be aware that these pictorial symbols are based upon scientific definitions for the moon’s lunar phases and not God’s. This distinction aligns new moon with lunar conjunction and not a 7% waxing crescent which throws of the occurrence of khodesh by 12-36 hours or so. As long as one can understand why this contrast is important and adjust calculation accordingly, one should have no problem with distinguishing how the lunar phases coordinate with the five Sabbaths of each month as delineated by God’s calendar. Most Torah observant Jews, modern day Christians, and even Seventh Day Adventists, have little if any realization that there exists rampant confusion surrounding the observance of Sabbath, as most have never even heard about the ancient Hebraic calendar system, let alone understand how the intricacies of such system align to the determination of Sabbath.

“What few Jews, and even less Sabbatarians, know is during the A.D. fourth century, persecution of all who used the original Hebrew lunar-based calendar for worship was so intense, that in the end, the Jews gave up their calendar handed down from the texts of the creation through to Moses and instead adopted a calendar adjusted for worship based on the solar centered Julian calendar. If asked, the Jewish leadership is very open that their original calendar was set aside under the intense Roman persecution of all who used the Hebrew calendar in the A.D. fourth century, “Under the reign of Constantius (337-362) the persecutions of the Jews reached such a height that . . . the computation of the calendar [was] forbidden under pain of severe punishment.” The New Moon is still, and the Sabbath originally was, dependent upon the lunar cycle . . . Originally, the New Moon was celebrated in the same way as the Sabbath; gradually it became less important while the Sabbath became more and more a day of religion and humanity, of religious meditation and instruction, of peace and delight of the soul. “Holidays,” Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, p. 410 With the development of the importance of the Sabbath as a day of consecration and the emphasis laid upon the significant number seven, the week became more and more divorced from its lunar connection . . . . “Week,” Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Isaak Landman (ed.), Vol. X, (1943 ed.), p. 482 55
It is easy to see how such a tradition could be used to justify changing the calendar due to the extreme persecution facing all who worshipped by the lunarbased Hebrew calendar. Using his authority as president of the Sanhedrin, it is assumed that Hillel II tied the annual feasts to the spring equinox. Next, he adjusted the weekly seventh day Sabbath to the Julian seventh day Saturday. This “freed” the Jews from the condemnation of the law since they no longer knew when the true Sabbath occurred. Thus, they justified their use of the pagan calendar.” – Christopher Tyreman, The Destruction of Sabbath True Sabbath is aligned to khodesh and can only be determined by its occurrence, but because the months of the Gregorian solar based calendar have been relinquished from ties to the natural cycle of the moon’s quarterly phases, Sabbath can fall on any day of the week - Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. And since most of the people alive today follow the Gregorian solar calendar, do not pay attention to the phases of the moon, and do not understand how God’s calendar divides the lunar months of the year, they do not as consequence know when to celebrate Sabbath since they never actually know when it occurs.

In order to better enable you as reader capacity to grasp what I have been alluding to over the last few paragraphs, one can analyze the idiosyncrasies of this system to this calendar image. Study of it should enable one to gain greater insight into how the system works in relation to khodesh. As a visual representation it should better enable one to perceive the simplicity of God’s calendar design.
57
Because observance of God’s lunar based calendar was punishable by death, its replacement was assured by the widespread implementation of the Julian solar based calendar which accompanied the expansion of the Roman Empire in 46 B.C. This brought forth another aspect of Satan’s plan, the obscurity of the Most High’s holy days and bewilderment of His people. For those who use the scriptural Hebrew calendar, calculation is very simple. The weekdays, Sabbaths the and New Moon Sabbath of each lunar month always fall on the exact same dates of each Hebrew month. This explains why, whenever the date of a seventh day Sabbath is given in the Hebrew scripture, it always falls on the 8th, 15th, 22nd or 29th of the Hebrew month. The days of the week do not float through the monthly dates as they do now on the modern Gregorian calendar. After Hillel II “fixed” the calendar to fit into a Julian framework and moved the observance of the seventh day Sabbath from the lunar week to the continuously cycling Julian week, difficulties arose. The new moon would cycle through the Julian days of the week, which caused the annual feasts to fall on the wrong times of the month. As a result, rules of postponement were established – something that was unnecessary with the scriptural Hebrew calendar, became necessary with the inefficient and ever changing Julian/solar calendar. Those who desire to worship on the true seventh day Sabbath should not look to modern calendation efforts. All who worship on Saturday because “the 58
Jews keep Saturday” are not following the scriptural Hebrew Sabbath, but the faux Sabbath that Hillel II’s corruption of the original calendation fashioned. This corruption of the correct day thus channeled the whole of the Jewish people into breaking one of the Hebrew scriptures most important decrees and caused them to lose track of the New Moon Sabbath of each month. – The Destruction of Sabbath Even the Jews which most believe are the current embodiment of God’s chosen people Israel, do not follow the calendar which was passed down to them from and through the Old Testament patriarchs. Their deviation from the calendar of their Hebraic forefathers occurred in the 4th century A.D. as a result of the persecution levied against anyone attempting to adhere to the ancient Hebraic system. The disruption and replacement of God’s calendar then ushered in an age which brought with it 1) the corruption of the traditional Levitical feasts and festival days, 2) the pagan malfeasance of the budding new Christian church established by the outreach of the apostles of Christ and 3) the rise to power of Constantine the Great which though legitimizing the Christian faith enhanced its pagan origins. ‘The son of Flavius Valerius Constantius, a Roman army officer, and his consort Helena. His father became Caesar, the deputy emperor in the west in 293 AD. Constantine was sent east, where he rose through the ranks to become a military tribune under the emperors Diocletian and Galerius. In 305, Constantius was raised to the rank of Augustus, senior western emperor, and Constantine was recalled west to campaign under his father in Britannia. Acclaimed as emperor by the army at Eboracum (Modern-day York) after his father's death 59
in 306 AD, Constantine emerged victorious in a series of civil wars against the emperors Maxentius and Licinius to become sole ruler of both west and east by 324 AD.’ - Wikipedia
Considered to be the first Christian emperor, Constantine became the sole monarch of the Western Roman Empire following victory at the Battle of Milivian Bridge in 312 A.D. Recounting the success of this campaign in journal, Constantine wrote that preceding this battle while looking up at the sun, he saw the vision of a cross of light with words emblazoned in Greek ‘Eν Τούτῳ Νίκα,’ meaning in this sign, conquer. Because of this, Constantine attributed his achievement to ‘the protection of the High God of the Christians.’ This result spurned his decision to stop the oppression of them throughout the extent of Western Roman Empire. With the issuance of the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D. this became official policy ending the criminalization and persecution of Christian worship and extending to all Roman citizens the liberty to worship as one chose, establishing with it the tolerance of all religions. And while this was seen as a great triumph for Christians of that era, it consolidated as dates of worship those deemed acceptable for the celebratory observance of the two largest groups of peoples making up the demographic of Rome, Christians and pagans. And while the persecution of Christians ended with the Edict of Milan, Christianity as faith was usurped by this newly organized ‘religious system.’ Those that later joined its ranks were quickly indoctrinated into the acceptance of not only the measure of time according to the Julian solar calendar, but into the reverence of paganized ‘holidays’ which I believe can be categorized a form of idolatry. 60
Chapter 5 – The Leviticus 23 Holy Days [1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. [3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. [4] These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. [5] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover. [6] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. [7] In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. [8] But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. [9] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [10] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: [11] And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. [12] And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt 61
offering unto the LORD. [13] And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. [14] And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. [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: [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. [17] Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD. [18] And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD. [19] Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. [20] And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. [21] And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it 62
shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. [22] And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God. [23] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [24] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. [25] Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. [26] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [27] Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. [28] And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. [29] For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. [30] And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. [31] Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. [32] It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath. 63
[33] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [34] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD. [35] On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. [36] Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. [37] These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: [38] Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD. [39] Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. [40] And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. [41] And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. [42] Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: [43] That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought 64
them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. [44] And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD. – Leviticus 23:1-44 The Lord God, YHWH Elohim commanded His followers to be vigilant in the observance of seven appointed times the Festivals of Pesach/Feast of Passover, Chag Hamotzi/Unleavened Bread, Yom Hibbikurim/Feast of Firstfruits, Shavuot/Feast of Weeks, Yom Ter’uah/Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement, and Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles. The first three feast days occur in the first month of spring called in Hebrew Nisan and in English March/April, the fourth in the summer in the Hebrew month of Sivan which in English is May/June. The other three feast days occur in the first month of fall called in Hebrew Tishri and in English September/October.
As fixed memorial days each specifically commensurate a historical event of special significance to the Israelites as people. Most of these feast days occur on or near Sabbath on God’s calendar but vary on the Gregorian occurring at different times each year. Thus my listing of two different 65
English months when citing their Hebrew equivalent. As I discuss these seven feasts and festivals, it will be important to keep in mind two things 1) that the measurement of each day of the Sabbath week comprising an evening and a morning on God’s calendar, coincides precisely with the description of their occurrence during the first week of creation and 2) that every 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the lunar month on God’s calendar are considered Sabbath days. If one reads closely how the days are cited as unfolding in Genesis 1, they are designated as beginning with the evening and ending with evening of the following day. This is dissimilar to the calculation of a modern day which begins at midnight and ends at midnight. Another interesting aspect to this study has to do with how the spring and fall festivals of God’s holy days apply to and prophetically foreshadow the first and second coming of the Most High’s only begotten Son, Yahushua. These connections together foretell the story of the Father’s master plan mirrored in the central message of John 3:16: [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16 I believe it very important to understand how Yahushua’s life ties in with the Leviticus chapter 23 feast days and festivals. And so while explaining the details of each one of these celebrations, I will also explain how this prophetic master plan aligns with the feasts and festivals that were mandated by YHWH the Father to the ministry and life of Yahushua as Christ. 66
Once you understand this teaching, you will see how His first coming and incarnation into flesh fulfilled the spring and summer feasts, as well as how His next coming will fulfill the fall feasts. This prophetic teaching confirms that the dating of the ‘rapture’ and fulfillment of the fall festivals will align with the Hebrew dating of their appointed times for celebration.
YHWH’s Seven Feast Days and Festivals The first feast on the Hebrew Jewish calendar is called Pesach or Passover, celebrated on the 14th of Nisan, during March/April on the Gregorian calendar. Cited in Exodus 12:1-13, this festival commemorates the protection the Israelites received during the judgement which was levied by YHWH upon pharaoh, the people of Egypt, and even their animals. In order to receive the supernatural protection of the Most High, the Israelites were instructed to bring a lamb without spot or blemish into their house for rearing until the 14th day of Nisan, when every Hebrew family was to slaughter it, and then sprinkle the blood of this sacrificial lamb above and onto the door post of their dwelling. 67
They were then to cook it in meal while remaining inside and not come out until after the feast of unleavened bread. The blood of the sacrificial lamb sprinkled above and on the door post would serve as an indicator to the angel of death to ‘pass over’ this particular household leaving all of the inhabitants within unharmed. The lamb was to be sacrificed as a sin offering on the 14th day of Nisan and be consumed during the feast of unleavened bread which would begin at sunset marking the beginning of Sabbath the 15th day of Nisan and approach of the angel of death. As the final 10th plague, the angel of death would pass over Egypt killing all the firstborn of those households not marked on door post by the blood of the sacrificial lamb. After the Sabbath feast of unleavened bread, the Israelites emerged from their homes to the bitter tears and wails of agony of the Egyptians which accompanied the slaughter of the firstborn in the land. Whatever had not been consumed of the sacrificial meal was offered as burnt offering to the fire as sign of reverence to the Most High for the protection He placed over them as people during the preceding night’s events. With the death of his only son, pharaoh was finally persuaded to free the Israelites from bondage allowing them to leave in mass exodus to freedom. Gathering their belongings the Hebrews hurriedly departed from Egypt, leaving pharaoh and its citizens brokenheartedly behind. As time passed, pharaoh began to regret his decision to allow the Israelites safe passage from his land and becoming enraged, reconsidered his decision until changing his mind gathered his army for pursuit. 68
They caught up to the Israelites in the midst of the Red Sea while the waves were parted and held high allowing for safe passage of Moses and his people. Determined to seek revenge, pharaoh and his armies pushed forward recklessly wanting blood as payment for the murder of their children. They gave chase charging forward hell bound in effort to reach the Israelites exiting the dry seabed on the opposite side of the Red Sea. Pharaoh and his armies never reached the other side but instead were met by the crash of waves that being held back no longer, came crashing down upon their heads entrenching them in cruel watery grave. [2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. [3] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: [4] And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. [5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: [6] And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. [7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. [8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. [9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with 69
the purtenance thereof. [10] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. [11] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover. [12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. [13] And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. [14] And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. [15] Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. [16] And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. [17] And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. – Exodus 12:2-17 70
The life of Christ aligns with the Passover festival in this way. Yahushua was crucified near 3:00 pm the 14th day of Nisan, dying upon the cross before sunset that day. His death on Passover made Him the lamb without spot or blemish which was sacrificed as a sin offering in preparation for the coming of the angel of death. Remember the days are measured from evening to the following evening. Because the Sabbath feast of unleavened bread began at sunset, the Jews which conspired Yahushuah’s murder were concerned with hastening His death. This is when Longinus, the Roman soldier present during His crucifixion, pierced His side discovering that He had already passed. Discovering this, the Pharisees then rushed to have Him removed from the cross and entombed. Some of them then quickly returned to the temple to witness to the high priest, Caiphas that they had seen firsthand the death of Christ. The others rushed home to their awaiting families to commence the feast of unleavened bread. Ensuring Yahushua’s death before the coming sunset, provided the Pharisees with the comfort to know Christ would no longer contest their authority. Being at ease, they could then prepare for the feast of firstfruits with the certainty that there would be no disruptions from either Christ or His followers. How wrong were they? John said of Yahushua, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” This was a reference to His having fulfilled this particular spring feast as the crucified Passover lamb. This is also why the cross has come to be associated with a forgiveness of sin as well as salvation and eternal life being tied to His resurrection. 71
Yahushua’s ascension and defeat of death also present to all people everywhere a renewed chance to affirm their faith in His cross and the sacrifice that had been made. This would present to all that believe that He fulfilled the feasts of the Father, chance through Him for a return to the first estate. The second feast on the Hebrew Jewish calendar is called Chag HaMatzot or the Feast of Unleavened Bread celebrated beginning on Sabbath, the 15th day of Nisan to the following Sabbath, the 22nd day of Nisan. It marks a seven day period during which the Israelites were to eat unleavened bread called motzah. It was during the beginning of this festival that the angel of death passed over all of the households of Egypt, striking down the firstborn of those that were not marked with the blood of the sacrificial lamb. Yahushua was placed into the tomb of his uncle Joseph of Aramithea on the day of this festival fulfilling this particular spring feast day. "Three times a year, you are to observe a festival for me. Keep the festival of matzah: for seven days, as I ordered you, you are to eat matzah (unleavened bread) at the time determined in the month of Aviv; for it was in that month that you left Egypt. No one is to appear before me empty-handed. Next, the festival of harvest, the firstfruits of your efforts sowing in the field; and last, the festival of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in from the fields the results of your efforts." - Exodus 23:14-16 The third feast on the Hebrew Jewish calendar is called Yom HaBikkurim or the Festival of Firstfruits celebrated on the 16th of Nisan. This feast celebrates the bringing of the firstfruits of the winter harvest to the Temple. These three 72
spring feast days as one festival mark the exact feasts which Yahushua’s crucifixion, burial, and resurrection would occur upon, during His life. Crucified on the 14th day of Nisan, He was entombed on the 15th day of Nisan, and raised 3 days later on the 17th day of Nisan just in time to present Himself as the firstfruits of the resurrected dead before YHWH, His Father God. Contrary to what many believe, Yahushua was not ‘dead’ the three days He was separated from His body. Rather than being dormant, He instead during this time descended into sheol to free Adam, Eve, Seth, and the many other ancestors of His people which having previously passed on were being held there. These He freed from the bondage of sheol just as the Father had freed the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt. He then presented them to the Archangel Michael, for baptism in the Archuresian Lake as preparation for entrance into the city of God, New Jerusalem. Some of those that were raised as part of the first resurrection, (as detailed in part II of the Gospel of Nicodemus called The Descent Into Hell), were seen present throughout the land of Israel. (One can also refer to chapter 6 of my seventh book Skyfall, Reincarnation vs. Incarnation for more details on this.) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. - 1 Corinthians 15: 20 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. – 1 Corinthians 15: 23

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. – Matthew 27:52-53 Let me explain this series of events in more depth so that you as reader can understand exactly what the passages in 1 Corinthians and Matthew are alluding to. Keep in mind that the days according to Genesis and God’s calendar are counted an evening and a morning from sunset to sunset the following day.
Yahushua died at around 3:00 pm the day of Passover before sunset on the 14th of Nisan. A few hours before sunset the 14th of Nisan to a few hours before sunset on the 15th would be counted as the first of the three days He would be away from His body. A few hours later at sunset the 15th of Nisan, the Sabbath feast of unleavened bread would begin. A few hours before sunset of the 15th to a few hours before sunset of the 16th would be counted as the second day of His death. A few hours later at sunset the festival of firstfruits would commence. A few hours before sunset of the 16th to a few hours before sunset the 17th day of Nisan would be counted as the third day of His being away from body and point of where He would return to it in resurrection. 74
This is timeline scenario is important because it shows that Christ returned to His body prior to the wave-offering which always took place on the morrow after Sabbath meaning that He returned just in time to perform this ceremony. [10] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: [11] And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. – Leviticus 23:10-11 Even though the festival of firstfruits began on sunset the 16th of Nisan, the public wave-offering performed on behalf of the nation by the High Priest would not occur until sunset the 17th, on the morrow after the Sabbath which beginning at sunset the 15th continued until sunset the 16th. And so Yahushua, being resurrected a few hours before sunset the beginning of the 17th, was not only Himself the firstfruits offering of the resurrected dead, He would also be the high priest (after the order of Melchisedec as it says in Hebrews 5:5-6, 8:1) making tribute of the children of God as the resurrected Fristfruits being offered by Him to YHWH, the Father. I hope you can now see how significant this timeline is as well as how Yahushua’s first coming and incarnation into flesh as the Son of God, aligns with and fulfilled these particular spring feast and festivals days as established by the Father’s own holy days. 75
Doesn’t the fact that these holy days were accomplished in this manner by the life of Christ not affirm Him as the true savior messiah and only begotten Son of the Most God as attested to by the gospels as well as the Mazzaroth? Can you now make sense of how incredible these teachings are? The fourth feast on the Hebrew Jewish calendar is called Shavuot or Pentecost receiving its name from the Hebrew word Shavua which means week, its plural Shavu'ot meaning weeks references the seven weeks which comprise this particular festival. It is celebrated on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan during summer May/June on the Gregorian calendar, culminating on the 50th day past the Day of Firstfruits. [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: [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 A 49 day festival extending from the second day of Passover to the day before Shavuot/Pentecost the 50th day. These seven Sabbath weeks honor the seven crops grown in Israel. On the day of firstfruits an omer (measure of barley) as the first grain crop to ripen during winter harvest, would be brought to the Jerusalem Temple by the people as sacrificial offering. The other seven traditional agricultural products which were also offered during each of these Sabbath weeks (being limited to crops grown in Israel) are wheat, barley, grapes in the form of wine, figs, pomegranates, olives in the form of oil, and dates. 76
The festival ends on the day before Shavuot when an offering of wheat is brought to the Temple and sacrificed on the altar. This 49 day duration also commemorates the 49 day journey of the Israelite people from, the time that they were freed from the bondage of Egypt and oppression of pharaoh, to the time that Moses and the Israelites met the Most High God face to face, and were given the Torah and 10 commandments on Mount Sinai. [1] In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. [2] For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. [3] And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; [4] Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. [5] Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: [6] And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. [7] And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. [8] And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned 77
the words of the people unto the LORD. [9] And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. [10] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, [11] And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. [12] And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: [13] There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. [14] And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. [15] And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. [16] And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. [17] And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. [18] And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the 78
whole mount quaked greatly. [19] And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. [20] And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. [21] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. [22] And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. [23] And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. [24] And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. [25] So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them. – Exodus 19:1-25 And so the festival of Shavuot honors the Israelites becoming a nation dedicated unto God, and directly acknowledges the seven local crops reaped as the bounty of harvest during each of the seven Sabbath weeks leading up to the day of Shavuot or Pentecost; which as memorial day, celebrates the Torah been given to the Israelites and their commitment to remaining a nation and people committed to the serving of YHWH as Most High God. The 49 day period of the festival of Shavuot also represents the 49 years which pass before the celebration of the jubilee year occurring on every 50th year in ancient Israel. The jubilee is 79
represented by Shavuot or Pentecost as 50th day and culmination of the preceding 49 day festival. Decreed on the Day of Atonement, the Jubilee cancelled all debts, restored possessions and property, freeing slaves and prisoners, and set the tone for forgiveness among the people in accord with the mercies of God. The land also was given rest during this year and allowed to grow fallow for use by the poor, destitute, and those whom would simply be passing through as travelers. "And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession." - Leviticus 25:8-13 The Shavuot or Pentecost as festival was fulfilled by the resurrection of Christ as 50 days had passed between the time of His resurrection and the time that the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) was sent by Him to bless and fill the apostles as preparation for their mission abroad in 80
spreading the gospel to all corners of the then known world. It was during this anointing that the apostles were able to speak in tongues allowing people of all every ethnicity and language ability to hear and understand them in their own native dialect. This event marked the fulfillment of this summer feast according to the timeline of the Father’s prophetic master plan. And so just as YHWH had freed the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt and 50 days after the day of firstfruits, delivered unto them the Torah or book of the law, so too did Yahushua free the resurrected dead from the bondage of sheol, and delivering them as firstfruits to paradise, then delivered to His apostles 50 days later the Holy Spirit, fulfilling this summer feast in similar accord to the reception of the law by Moses on Mount Sinai. The fifth feast on the Hebrew Jewish calendar is called Yom Teru’ah or the Feast of Trumpets. It is celebrated on the first day of the 7th month of Tishri, which is also the beginning of the Jewish New Year called Rosh Hashanah, occuring during September/October on the Gregorian calendar. Aligned with the first day of the month, this feast always occurs on khodesh which as explained previously, was announced across all of Israel by the sounding of the shofar. [10] Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God. – Numbers 10:10 81
The shofar announced khodesh as the first Sabbath and day of the lunar month which is why this particular festival has association with the blowing of trumpets. And because of this, those that study bible prophecy believe that as the first of the three fall festivals which are yet to be fulfilled by the second coming of Christ, that this feast will be fulfilled when the angel sounds the 7th trumpet announcing that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. - Revelation 10:7 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. – Revelation 11:15 [14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. [15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. – 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 82
And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. Then will I send forth mine angels, and they shall take the ram's horns that lie upon the cloud; and Michael and Gabriel shall go forth out of the heaven and sound with those horns, as the prophet David foretold, With the voice of a trumpet of horn. And the voice of the trumpet shall be heard from the one quarter of the world to the other; and from the voice of that trumpet all the earth shall be shaken, as the prophet foretold, And at the voice of the bird every plant shall arise; that is, at the voice of the archangel all the human race shall arise. – The Revelation of Saint John the Theologian The announcement of the seventh trumpet by the angels of the Most High seems to be the moment associated to what many people refer to as the “rapture.” And while I personally do not support belief in a pre-tribulation rapture, I do believe that the Bible teaches that the removal of the believers as the elect of Christ, precedes the outpouring of the wrath of God upon all those which are not included and do not have their names written into the Book of Life. It’s my opinion that this event will take place sometime near the beginning of or during the Great Tribulation that accompanies the reign of the anti-christ and New World Order. John refers to it as the last day, however I believe that this reference only applies to those that are counted as righteous and which are written into the books of life. Following the rapture of the bride, there could for unbelievers remain an indeterminate amount of time accompanying the judgment of God to be poured out on those not written into the books of life. 83
[39] And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. [40] And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. [44] No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. [54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. – John 6: 39-40, 44, 54 [37] In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. – John 7: 37 [24] Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. – John 11:24 The sixth feast on the Hebrew Jewish calendar is called Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement, celebrated on the 10th day of the 7th month of Tishri which occurs during September/October on the Gregorian calendar. Rather than being a festive time wherein families gather for merry chatter over celebratory meal, this feast is regarded as a day of reflection, repentance, and of serious contemplation on how to remove sin from one’s life. Sin as behavior will always be obstacle severing one from true relationship with both the Father and the Son. But 84
should one really want to aspire being counted worthy as part of the elect, one should really give serious consideration to the choices that one makes during the daily routines of life. Introspection can always assist one to make wiser choice as certain behaviors might require modification which could lead one to closer relationship with the Most High. Students of prophecy believe that this fall feast day will be fulfilled by the millennial reign as Yahushua assumes the role of high priest guiding the elect to greater understanding on all the secrets which had been hidden during the previous age. I however believe it has something to do with the judgment seat, when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess and that it aligns with the weighing of personal sin as our own behaviors, actions, thoughts, and ways of being are considered for determination (opening of the books of life) as to whether one is worthy of being counted with the righteous and allowed entrance into paradise, or having been involved in rampant sin during life here upon the earth, one is instead given over to the demons of sheol being counted instead with the wicked. And so rather than aligning with the millennial reign it’s my opinion that this festival instead aligns with the judgment seat of Christ and as event precedes the millennial reign which I believe aligns with the next festival. [11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. [12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which 85
were written in the books, according to their works. [13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. [14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. [15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. – Revelation 20:11-15 The seventh feast on the Hebrew Jewish calendar is called Sukkot or the Feast of Tabernacles celebrated on Sabbath the 15th day of the 7th month of Tishri, during September/October on the Gregorian calendar. This festival has a double significance, 1) agricultural in nature as the ‘Feast of Ingathering’ mentioned in Exodus 34:22 marking the end of the summer harvest and 2) as memorial of the type of temporary dwelling used as home by the Israelites during their 40 years of wandering through the Sinai Desert following the exodus. This festival receives its name from the definition of a sukkot, which as a simple walled structure covered by s'chach (plant material such as overgrowth or palm leaves) that could be used quickly and easily in the assembly of the kind of homes utilized by the Israelites during their journeys through the Sinai Desert. During the course of this seven day festival, the Israelites are to craft and stay in these types of temporary shelters as way to reflect upon what their ancestors had to endure during the exodus. [39] Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the 86
first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. [40] And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. [41] And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. [42] Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: [43] That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. – Leviticus 23:39-43 It’s my opinion that this festival aligns prophetically with the descent of the city of God, New Jerusalem, from the heavens to the earth as place of inhabitation for the righteous marking the beginning of the millennial reign of Christ which follows judgment. New Jerusalem, I believe also signifies the replacement of not only our temporary earthly home, but likewise symbolizes the end of our having to dwell in temporary flesh bodies. [2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. [4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. – John 14:2-3 [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a 87
bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. – Revelation 21:2-3 I hope you can now understand why I believe that for those counted worthy, the Feast of Tabernacles will be prophetically fulfilled by a return to our first estate signified by entrance into the city of God, New Jerusalem. It also represents the restoration of our bright natures and return to immortality as angelic beings. If you are in any way confused by the association of our preexistence to this particular event, please refer to my seventh book Skyfall: Angels of Destiny, Pre-election and the Preexistence of Spirit.
88
Chapter 6 – The New Covenant I think it significant that Yahushua and the apostles honored the Leviticus 23 holy days while here walking upon the earth; and that His first coming fulfilled the first four spring and summer feast days, and that His second coming will fulfill the remaining three. And while I do recognize that a fundamental shift in covenant did indeed occur with Yahushua’s first coming, and that just as the blood of the Passover lamb protected the Israelites from the angel of death during the slaughter of the firstborn in Egypt, so does His blood as the new covenant Passover lamb, protect humanity from the sins of our former being. I still feel that new covenant believers should in the least understand what the old festivals are about. Yes, His crucifixion on the cross and resurrection three days later, did establish new relationship and era for humanity with God the Father, however I do not in any way believe that it nullified or replaced the mandate of Old Testament law especially as embodied in the 10 commandments. And while I do not believe that modern Christians are in any way required to sacrifice animals to the Father or Son as was customary in ancient times, I do feel acknowledgement of His solemn feasts can go a long way in promoting relationship with Them. That rather than slaughter an animal perhaps an offering of some fruit, corn meal, fine flour, nuts, or even flowers upon an outdoor altar of some sort, or maybe the lighting of candles, incense, or even sage on an altar within one’s house, that these kinds of things might be considered 89
appropriate way to just show appreciation in loving expression of gratitude to the Father and Son. I believe that everyone should have within or outside of their house, an altar space dedicated to the Most High. I have set aside within my own house an altar space which facing East looks out towards where the sun rises. And though I do not have an outdoor altar established yet, I do plan on placing one in my backyard. In the many Biblical and extra canonical texts I have studied, whenever God establishes relations with one of the Hebrew patriarchs, He always instructs them to build an altar of natural stone in which no iron tool had been used as implement to carve or shape it. And that one should always set it up facing Jerusalem when offering substance or prayers upon it. I believe the kind of altar one has and whether one has one, can reflect upon the kind of relationship one shares with God. The altar I have set up within my house, has placed upon it pictures of my loved ones, those alive now and those which have already passed on. Placing pictures of loved ones on an altar is a way of showing God that these people are important to you. It is also a visual reminder to include them in prayer when asking God to daily protect and preserve one’s family. Along with pictures I have on it the Holy Bible, crosses, candles, and bowl for burning white sage. We have even at times placed flower arrangements from the flower bushes surrounding my house upon it. Whether one chooses to include an altar in or around one’s house, I feel that having an altar is a very special way that one can honor the Creator, and that doing something as small as lighting a candle on special occasions whether new moons, Sabbath, 90
one of the Levitical holy days, or even the birth date or day of passing of someone, can be a significant gesture which goes a long way in signifying respect and appreciation. I also believe that an altar can amplify prayer being the most important part of the house such as the Holy of Holies to the temple and the temple to the kingdom. Altars are individual to one’s personal taste and as such people will want to include upon them things which they consider to be personally significant. If one chooses to have one, personalize it as one feels appropriate. I feel like the Most High just wants us to acknowledge His holy days with sincere expression, and that as long as one is seeking to show genuine appreciation, love, affection, and/or gratitude, that any number of actions might be considered respectful for such acknowledgement. One might even place upon one’s altar, cards which were drawn up by one’s children and personalized to the Creator, as is so often done for parents on mother’s or father’s day. There are an infinite number and variety of options one can utilize to just say thanks to God, which I believe He would find meaningful especially since most Christians honor pagan traditions and very few celebrate any of the Hebraic festivals. I myself have been guilty of such neglect but since having learned about the Levitical holy days, do plan on shifting my behavior in effort to align with my newly discovered knowledge. And so I understand how easy it is to disregard observance of these ancient Hebraic traditions especially since so many thought these traditions replaced by Christ’s new covenant. Like so many alive today, I initially believed that we were no longer bound by Old Testament law but only had to adhere to the principles which were 91
established in the New Testament, according to the new covenant that Yahushua mandated as instruction for the founding of the church. And that we would only be judged by those teachings which were embodied in the gospels which His apostles wrote down as first account of what they witnessed while sharing time with Christ during His ministry. And that the gospels should be considered new foundation for the teachings which were being spread abroad by them, the essential teaching being that salvation comes through Yahushua as the only begotten of the living God, whom defeating death was resurrected to glory. We were all led to believe that as long as we followed and affirmed the precepts of New Testament law that we would find ourselves counted among the elect, worthy of preservation for the inheritance which would accompany His millennial reign. And while I do believe we are under this new covenant, Yahushua Himself mandated the observance of the 10 commandments as Old Testament law. If Yahushua was doing away with the Ten Commandments, why would He have spent so much time teaching people to keep them and why would so much of the New Testament be devoted to teaching people to uphold them? Commandment 1 "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve" (Matthew 4:10). "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and the great commandment" (Matthew 22:37). "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment" (Mark 12:30). "You shall 92
worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve" (Luke 4:8). Commandment 2 "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve" (Matthew 4:10). "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve" (Luke 4:8). "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24). "But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam...to eat things sacrificed to idols" (Revelation 2:14). "Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, because you allow... My servants to...eat things sacrificed to idols" (Revelation 2:20). Commandment 3 "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men" (Matthew 12:31). "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,.. blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man" (Matthew 15:19-20). Commandment 4 "What man is there among you who has one sheep, and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:11-12). "And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath" (Mat 24:20); there would be no reason to pray this if the Sabbath was not going to be in existence. "And He said to them, 'The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath'" (Mark 2:27); this verse tells all who 93
will see which day is the Lord's Day. "And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue" (Mark 6:2). "And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read" (Luke 4:16). "Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths" (Luke 4:31). "The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath...Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?" (Luke 6:5, 9). "But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath...The Lord then answered him and said, 'Hypocrite...So ought not this woman...be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?'" (Luke (13:14-16). "'Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?'...And they could not answer Him regarding these things" (Luke 14:3, 6). "are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?" (John 7:23). Commandment 5 "For God commanded saying, 'Honor your father and your mother' and 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death'" (Matthew 15:4). "Honor your father and your mother" (Matthew 19:19). "Honor your father and your mother" (Mark 7:10). "Honor your father and your mother" (Mark 10:19). "You know the commandments:.. Honor your father and your mother" (Luke 18:20). Commandment 6 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder', and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment. But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without 94
a cause shall be in danger of the judgment" (Matthew 5:21-22). "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders...These are the things which defile a man" (Matthew 15:19-20). "You shall not murder" (Matthew 19:18). "...murders...All these evil things come from within and defile a man" (Mark 7:21, 23). "Do not murder" (Mk 10:19). "You know the commandments:.. Do not murder" (Luke 18:20). Commandment 7 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery'. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:27-28). "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery" (Matthew 5:32).

"I have kept My Father's commandments" (John 15:10). - Dr. Bob Thiel www.cogwriter.com This to me means that we cannot simply disregard the Old Testament believing that because His life and teachings are the basis for the New Testament only it is relevant for study by modern Christians. Yahushua fulfilled not only the spring and summer festivals of His Father but also thousands of other prophecies which are linked to the Old Testament. His next coming will fulfill the fall feasts. There is no denying this. As such the study of both Testaments are necessary components for understanding the story of how His sacrifice on the cross would absolve the sins of humanity and how His resurrection would offer salvation to world. And so even though we are under a new covenant with the Father through Christ, I do not believe that we are to totally disregard the Most High’s holy days and that all He wants us to do is acknowledge them. And so why not recognize God on the days that He mandated for our celebration of Him as dictated by His own gospel? The Ten Commandments: [1] Thou shalt have no other gods before me. [2] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 97
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. [3] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. [4] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. [5] Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. [6] Thou shalt not kill. [7] Thou shalt not commit adultery. [8] Thou shalt not steal. [9] Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. [10] Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. – Exodus 20:3-17 98
Chapter 7 – Enoch’s Dream-Vision: Enmity Between The Seed-lines The Old Testament establishes foundation for the New. In order to comprehend what is going on in this day and age, one must grasp what had happened in our ancient past. To understand the past one must understand the gospel as a whole. This necessitates study of both Testaments. One of the underlying truths which connects the fullness of scripture together in story, has to do with the enmity which would play out through all of Biblical history between the physical children of the devil and the physical children of God. The classic tale of good vs. evil, life vs. death, righteous vs. wicked, light vs. darkness, the children of the law vs. children of perdition, and the Father and Son vs. Satan, the rebel angels, and fallen watchers; this story when understood unifies history with the scriptural accounts of both the Old and New Testaments. What few know and are not able to comprehend about the canon as a whole, is that the war which began in heaven between Yahushua and Lucifer, is now being waged here upon the earth. That the enmity which began in the garden with the birth of Cain as the firstborn hybrid son of the devil, and the murderer of his half-brother Abel, continues through the lineages which were spawned from Cain as the seed of the serpent and Seth, whom born in Adam’s likeness and similitude, propagated the seed of the woman. I believe this to be one of the least understood revelations of the gospel account. Enoch details this story in parable referencing the roots of this division in a part of the Book of Enoch called the Dream-Vision. 99
And Enoch lifted up (his voice) and spake to his son Methuselah: ' To thee, my son, will I speak: hear my words-incline thine ear to the dream-vision of thy father. Before I took thy mother Edna, I saw in a vision on my bed, and behold a bull came forth from the earth, and that bull was white; and after it came forth a heifer, and along with this (latter) came forth two bulls, one of them black and 4 the other red. And that black bull gored the red one and pursued him over the earth, and thereupon 5 I could no longer see that red bull. But that black bull grew and that heifer went with him, and 6 I saw that many oxen proceeded from him which resembled and followed him. And that cow, that first one, went from the presence of that first bull in order to seek that red one, but found him 7 not, and lamented with a great lamentation over him and sought him. And I looked till that first 8 bull came to her and quieted her, and from that time onward she cried no more. And after that she bore another white bull, and after him she bore many bulls and black cows. 9 And I saw in my sleep that white bull likewise grow and become a great white bull, and from Him proceeded many white bulls, and they resembled him. And they began to beget many white bulls, which resembled them, one following the other, (even) many. - The Book of Enoch 85:1-9 This ‘Animal Farm’ parable (as my friend Rob Skiba calls it), begins with the fall of humanity, Adam as the white bull and Eve as the white heifer have been exiled from paradise 100
to the earth and transformed into a fallen state of being. Notice specifically that the two children born from Eve as the mother of all living, are dissimilar in appearance from one another, one being described as black and the other red. I believe the colors represent the innocence and purity of Adam and Eve, the sinister and dark nature of Cain, and Abel as a blood sacrifice being the first victim of murder. It is my opinion that this parable verifies that Cain as the black bull, was wholly different from Abel, the red bull. And that if both Cain and Abel had been born of the same mother and father, Eve and Adam, that they would have been described as having similar complexion and being of complementary disposition. But one is portrayed as black and the other red. I believe this difference significant especially in the beginning of the generations of humanity when evil was supposedly nowhere present to be mocked or mimicked? How then did Cain acquire such negative characteristics when both Adam and Eve even though they transgressed the law, were still loyal to the ordinances of YHWH, and considered innocent and good natured? If both Cain and Abel had the same mother and father, would not Enoch described them as having similar distinction? As I explained in my fourth book Lucifer - The Father of Cain, Cain was different because he had a different father the devil. And at that sorrowful moment CAIN was born, and when ADAM saw that the face of CAIN was illtempered (or, sullen) and his appearance evil he was sad. And then ABEL was born, and when ADAM saw that his appearance was good and his face goodtempered he said, "This is my son, the heir of my kingdom." – Kebra Nagast 3 101
As the devil’s first born, he was the patriarch of the tares as seed of the serpent, whose generations are found in Genesis chapter four while Adam’s generation as the wheat and seed of the woman are found in Genesis chapter five. And because Cain killed his half-brother Abel, both Genesis and Enoch cite Seth being born in the similitude and likeness of Adam (white bull) as replacement for their murdered son Abel. And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. – Genesis 4:25 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: - Genesis 5:3 While few understand the deeper roots of this enmity, it is ongoing even today and won’t be fulfilled until Christ’ second coming which according to Matthew 13 will then separate the tares from the wheat, the goats from the sheep, and the foolish from the wise virgins. (If you’re interested in more about this particular story and want over 250+ source references covering it in detail, refer to my 4th book Lucifer – The Father of Cain). This is also why the Hebrew patriarchs of ancient times compiled extensive record of whom was born of whom and who begat whom, as well as why 1 Chronicles chapter 1 and Luke chapter 3 both exclude Cain from the lineages Christ. [1] Adam, Sheth, Enosh, [2] Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered, [3] Henoch, Methuselah, Lamech, [4] Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. - 1 Chronicles 1:1-4 102
[23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, [24] Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, [25] Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, [26] Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, [27] Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, [28] Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, [29] Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, [30] Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, [31] Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, [32] Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, [33] Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, [34] Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the 103
son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, [35] Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, [36] Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, [37] Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, [38] Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. – Luke 3:23-38 Understanding the enmity between these two seed lines, is in my opinion one of the most important reasons why people should study the gospel as a whole as this war rages on even now. Cain’s children as perpetuators of the New World Order, are the blueblood lineages which as royalty both occupy the thrones of the world today and reside over the most preeminent positions of authority through-out most of the countries of the world. Cain is the progenitor of the Kenite/Canaanite 'tare, goat’ blood/seed line which currently dominates the fated direction of world. In order to understand the particulars of how the bloodlines relate to those things which had happened in the past, which are happening now, and that will happen in future, one must be able to comprehend the importance of how scripture aligns with history linking together the fullness of the war being fought between the children of Satan as seed of the serpent and the children of God as seed of the woman. 104
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. – Genesis 3:15 The Most High distinguishes through the parable of Enoch’s dream-vision that there is a difference between these two pedigrees citing Adam’s lineage through Seth as being the white bulls and Cain’s as being the black bulls (oxen). Enoch continues this parable with another central theme of his book, the descent of the fallen angels and their interdiction into the affairs of humanity. 1 And again I saw with mine eyes as I slept, and I saw the heaven above, and behold a star fell 2 from heaven, and it arose and eat and pastured amongst those oxen. And after that I saw the large and the black oxen, and behold they all changed their stalls and pastures and their cattle, and began 3 to live with each other. And again I saw in the vision, and looked towards the heaven, and behold I saw many stars descend and cast themselves down from heaven to that first star, and they became 4 bulls amongst those cattle and pastured with them [amongst them]. And I looked at them and saw, and behold they all let out their privy members, like horses, and began to cover the cows of the oxen, 5 and they all became pregnant and bare elephants, camels, and asses. And all the oxen feared them and were affrighted at them, and began to bite with their teeth and to devour, and to gore with their 6 horns. And they began, moreover, to devour those oxen; and behold all the children of the earth began to tremble and quake before them and to flee from them. - The Book of Enoch 86:1-6 105
In the New Testament, Yahushua alludes to having seen Lucifer fall from grace. I believe Enoch is referencing in the prior passage the same allusion as the star which falling from heaven lived among the children of Cain. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. – Luke 10:18 The many stars that later fell joining Lucifer as this first star, are the rebel angels which went to war with him against the Most High and the watchers which during the time of Enoch’s father, Jared left their place of habitation abandoning their first estate. Changing stalls and pastures references their taking many wives from amongst the oxen as children of Cain. Thus they also became black bulls mating with women from Cain’s line and siring giants into world. They also coupled with other creatures of the earth, propagating a variety of other mystical beings which as byproduct of human and angelic interaction, are described by Enoch as elephants, camels, and assess. Historically this is why there are mythological tales of creatures such as the unicorn, minotaur, harpy, cyclops, gorgon, and centaur as having existed in the past. These hybrid creatures because they could not replicate nor reproduce, disappeared from trace after living out their one lifetime. Giants were different in that they were able to propagate with the children of humanity, however when they began to cannibalize the children of Adam, five of God’s angels were sent down to investigate the kinds of terror which the fallen angels and their giant children had unleashed upon world. Judgment and redemption would come in the form of a world-wide deluge, wiping out all flesh in order to start civilization anew in fresh slate with the children of Noah. 106
1 And again I saw how they began to gore each other and to devour each other, and the earth 2 began to cry aloud. And I raised mine eyes again to heaven, and I saw in the vision, and behold there came forth from heaven beings who were like white men: and four went forth from that place 3 and three with them. And those three that had last come forth grasped me by my hand and took me up, away from the generations of the earth, and raised me up to a lofty place, and showed me 4 a tower raised high above the earth, and all the hills were lower. And one said unto me: ' Remain here till thou seest everything that befalls those elephants, camels, and asses, and the stars and the oxen, and all of them.' - The Book of Enoch 86:1-4 Once the earth and its natural inhabitants cried afoul at the evil which had been loosed upon the world, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Suryal, and Uriel descended to earth to take into account what had occurred. They returned to the seat of the Most High and presented to Him the narrative of what they had seen (not that He did not already know). Furious with what the rebel and watcher angels had unleashed upon the unsuspecting world, the Most High pronounced upon them the most severe judgment He had ever enacted upon a group of His own angels. Taking Enoch from among the children of men, he would have him write a book of testimony about the outcome of the sentence which was to be levied. His testimony would serve as a memorial of what happens to angels that rebel against the Most High God. It was then that YHWH gave order to bind up those angels which abandoned their first estate and wipe from the earth, the children of the watchers first by the sword and then by flood. 107
Then Michael and Gabriel, Raphael, Suryal, and Uriel, looked down from heaven, and saw the quantity of blood which was shed on earth, and all the iniquity which was done upon it, and said one to another, It is the voice of their cries; The earth deprived of her children has cried even to the gate of heaven. And now to you, O you holy one of heaven, the souls of men complain, saying, Obtain Justice for us with the Most High. Then they said to their Lord, the King, You are Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings. The throne of your glory is for ever and ever, and for ever and ever is your name sanctified and glorified. You are blessed and glorified. You have made all things; you possess power over all things; and all things are open and manifest before you. You behold all things, and nothing can be concealed from you. You have seen what Azazyel has done, how he has taught every species of iniquity upon earth, and has disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens. - The Book of Enoch 9:1-5 The animal farm parable continues with the descent to earth of the Archangels of the Most High and decree which lead to the exacting of punishment upon not only the fallen angels and watchers, but also upon their giant children, the progeny of the fallen watchers, the men of renown. 1 And I saw one of those four who had come forth first, and he seized that first star which had fallen from the heaven, and bound it hand and foot and cast it into an abyss: now that abyss was 2 narrow and deep, and horrible and dark. And one of them drew a sword, and gave it to those elephants and 108
camels and asses: then they began to smite each other, and the whole earth quaked 3 because of them. And as I was beholding in the vision, lo, one of those four who had come forth stoned (them) from heaven, and gathered and took all the great stars whose privy members were like those of horses, and bound them all hand and foot, and cast them in an abyss of the earth. - The Book of Enoch 88:1-3 Enoch’s dream vision connects the story of Eve’s seduction to the incursion of the fallen watchers enabling readers to make sense of Yahushua’s parable of the sower, goat and the sheep, and the wheat and the tares since all of them tie together to the enmity which beginning in the garden, has continued throughout all time, and which will not be concluded until His return at the end of days. This DreamVision can help one to unlock those riddles which are scattered through-out the Biblical account which details the battles between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. I can only hope and pray that the Most High blesses you, the reader in clarity and discernment to understand this, and other parts of Enoch’s revelation which I will be explaining throughout this book. I know personally that these revelations as truth have world and reality changing implications, and that for certain Christians they will be especially difficult to embrace as possibility. Yet in no other way will the entirety of scripture make any sense if one does not open oneself to them as possibility. The story of how this war commenced and endured to modern times as well as how those sitting on the thrones of the world today, are all related and linked to the seed of the serpent as blood line of Cain, is in my 109
opinion the greatest stories that could ever be told though it remains little known. Both the Bible and the Book of Enoch are full of these kinds of secrets which when understood can help students of the gospel grasp the deeper aspects of what our true heritage as Christians is really about. The legacy of who we are as the children of Adam is related in this incredible tale, explaining from whence we began, and what led to where we are now. Discounting the Old Testament would break up the congruency of these connections and hide the real meaning of why Yahushua said: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; [38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; [39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. – Matthew 13:37:43 Containing the bulk of the early battles which comprise the ongoing war between these two blood lineages, the Old Testament is also the source for both the garden parable as well as the most fascinating legend of the sons of God which abandoned heaven and siring Rephaim giants corrupted the entirety of the pre-flood world. 110
Discounting the metaphorical elaborations of the garden and Dream-Vision parables, most miss these connections which is why such critical detail is little comprehended and why so few are able to make sense of the elitist and royal family connection to the seed of the serpent. Such intricacy when understood helps to explain why Freemasons worship Lucifer the light-bearer as their real alleged father. Our original subject and his relatives, who are king’s, queen’s, princes and princesses, as well as leaders of industry and banking worldwide believe (and act as though) they are children of an other-worldly race of ‘Humanoid Being’s’; but not Human only…Hybrid Human…More than Human…Superior Alien Human’s! Our subject and his kin had been taught by their families and tutor’s that once upon a time, ‘Their’ Ancestors had fallen to earth after some cosmic calamity in the time before…the Garden. He believed that while their ‘Ancestral Mother was Eve…their Ancestral father was not Adam!’ THEY BELIEVE that they are our ‘Humanoid Cousins’…Superior Hybrid’s, half Alien and only half Human. They once reined from Olympus and were Pharaohs. That’s why they interbreed, to maintain the purity of the Bloodline, that’s why they secretly meet and connive to pass power between themselves; and that’s why they must fool the rest of mankind into wars of self-destruction and debt, so that we may be forever enslaved to their lusts, on this ‘Prison Planet’; till death do us part. More than afraid, they know in 111
their hearts…this is a fight for survival…THE fight for survival! It had begun, just as my friend had said, as “a Murder Investigation”, starting with the first Murder (Abel) when that Luciferian Demon Dad, had first whispered of the Evil deed to his willing child…Cain! It continued down through time, the Sons of Adam fighting for survival and destroying the Alien Giant’s in Canaan Land…David and the Hybrid Goliath, and his four hybrid brothers. And all the hidden true believer’s since… hiding in plain sight, so powerful, so important…so, so afraid. These earth-bound, half cousins of ours, continue to laugh, but it is a nervous laugh at that! As they have a joke or two at our expense; recreating their Lying Father’s ‘fall to earth’ and flashing their heretofore secret gang sign/hand signs (Masonic hand gestures, UN Flag) to each other, right in our face. I know now how dangerous their beliefs are, because they are being driven by their beliefs, taught to them by their real alleged father…the Father of Lies. And even now he knows The Truth and whispers in his initiates ears just as he first did in Cain’s ear…the ‘Son’s of Adam’ as long as they live…are dangerous. – Steve Quayle Alert, February 2013 Those that do not understand that there is literally a physical bloodline dedicated to reverence of the devil here on the earth which do not worship or serve the same God as the sons of Adam, will never be able to understand the story which unites the Biblical account as detailed within the authorized Canon and other extra-Biblical texts to the underlying truth of all of history. 112
Chapter 8 - Worship of the Father and the Son I personally do not know but maybe a few Christians that even acknowledge the Leviticus 23 holy days and the reason they do so, is because they are Messianic Jews and were raised their entire lives with celebration of those particular observances. But as far as regular Christians, I only know maybe one or two that even consider such celebration and that is only because my research has affected them similarly to think as I now do. One reason they are open to such consideration is because like me, they learned that many modern Christian holidays had been established based upon older pagan celebrations when Constantine succeeded as Roman emperor, merging the two predominant faiths of his kingdom (Christian and pagan) into one new religious movement. Since having become aware of such history my friends and I have attempted to remove ourselves from the traditional observance of those festivities formed during that time, even though they are recognized as being Christian, many have pagan origins. And even though I still personally congregate with family on Thanksgiving and Christmas, I avoid celebration of most other holidays a few being Lent, Easter, Advent, Valentine’s Day, Groundhogs Day, Good Friday, and Halloween. Thanksgiving as far as I know is not pagan but was established by the pilgrims as a feast of thanksgiving to show gratitude to the Most High. And even though I know Christmas has pagan roots, I recognize the importance of coming together with family and cherished friends during that time of year. And that it is important to treasure the 113
memories which are created amongst loved ones on such occasion. I also recognize that often these family gatherings are the only time that distant relatives make it a point to assemble with other distant family members and that without these particular kinds of celebrations some family members might not otherwise have chance to see each other for many years at a time if ever. And so rather than miss out on these gatherings, I will now supplement them with observance of the Leviticus 23 feasts and festivals. If one’s family is especially close knit and able to have open discussion on religious topics without emotional confrontation, one might be able to share the background of how traditional Christian holidays were established based upon pagan festivities and how such celebration could be viewed by God as a subtle form of idolatry. If all went well some families might even be willing to celebrate the seven feast days and festivals of YHWH creating reason for new family tradition especially if one were are able to communicate the historical and prophetic reasons why even modern Christian families should in the least know about the Leviticus 23 holy days, being that Yahushua already fulfilled the first four and will also fulfil the next three. Those of you that are wishing to embark on this endeavor, please be forewarned such conversation can lead to emotional angst and division amongst family members especially if there are none present which are knowledgeable or even approachable to the discussion of such topics. It would be wise for you to assess the situation before acting on this suggestion. Maybe test the waters by sharing some information with a few close family members to see if they would back you in such discussion, as it does 114
help to have at least one other person present whom is aware of and even supportive of such discussion before bringing it up to the rest of the group. If not one might want to ignore the suggestion. Also remember, those of you that are overzealous in wanting to share new knowledge, there is nothing wrong with honoring people for where they are for the time that they are there, and that if people are not ready for certain information there is no need to force conversations as doing so has tendency in my experience, to do more harm than good. Having been awakened for a long while now, I find that people are and will be much more receptive if one awaits the perfect opportunity for such discussion. And that forcing this kind of discourse, sometimes only succeeds in driving even loved ones away, and could essentially cause such irreparable division, it will negate the opportunity for discussion on that topic from ever arising again. For those that are aware of these ancient pagan connections, in the least we can make coming together with family on such occasions as Thanksgiving and Christmas about honoring and acknowledging the Father and Son. This is an easy task for me since I am blessed to be part of a family that does recognize Yahushua as savior messiah. I’m also blessed that many in my family do not partake in gift giving unless for someone extremely young as most of us have all that we need. Not that I see anything wrong with gift giving, I just do not believe that it should be the focus of Christmas. I try to further remove myself from traditional ‘pagan’ celebrations of Christmas, by not decorating the living room of my house with Christmas tree, not adorning the mantle 115
with stockings, or hanging mistletoe beneath the doorway arches. Small changes such as these are easy for me, but for mothers that like to decorate their houses as way to reflect the cheer of season or for households with a number of young kids amongst them, they might be a little more difficult to implement. I believe that Satan knew exactly what he was doing with the changing of the calendar system and amalgamation of Christian and pagan celebrations. And that these actions were instrumental as part of his plan to lead astray the entire world: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. – Revelation 12:9 This is why I believe it is important for all Christians to investigate the origins of the Constantine holidays, as it is not difficult to uncover the connections of many current traditional Christian holidays to more archaic pagan rituals. I think it will surprise you to find that some of these rites correspond directly to the worship of Satan, or some other fallen angel in the guise of one or another pagan deity. And even though I consider this information important, I am not going to elaborate on these connections as it would take an entire book in and of itself to relay such information. Besides many authors have already written excellent books detailing these subjects. I will exclaim however that learning this information was one of the prevailing reasons why I quit celebrating most traditional holidays. And why I will now especially since having written this book, begin the celebration of the Levitical holy days. 116
Some modern theologians acknowledge, “Yes, when the seventh day Hebrew Sabbath is calculated by the scriptural calendar, it will fall differently; but all Creator requires of us is to keep the seventh day Sabbath by whatever calendar society uses.” Such a belief reveals a tragic lack of knowledge of the issues at stake. The planetary/gods week with the seven astrological gods was clearly seen by apostolic Christians to be linked to the worship of false gods. New Testament scripture is adamant that the rites of paganism are nothing but devil worship as it states: “But I say, that the things which the Gentiles [pagans] sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.” 1 Corinthians 10:20 – Christopher, Tyreman, The Destruction of Sabbath God’s commandments, all of them, are binding especially now that we are in the last days. With the reemergence of the ancient Hebrew calendar system, and the revelation of how the life and ministry of Christ connects to the Leviticus 23 holy days, there’s no reason to not at least acknowledge them. In the end when judgment ensues, those that follow and obey the traditions of Satan will be counted with the tares which as seed of the serpent are gathered for burning, and those that obey the mandated laws of God belonging to Him will be gathered as wheat for reentry into paradise.

Chapter 9 - The Naming of the Days of the Week The naming of the individual days of the week and 12 months of the solar year, hold their origins in pagan beliefs which revered the cosmology of the then known ‘solar system’ as sun, moon, planets, and other stars considered in ancient times to be gods and goddesses. The terms which were selected to designate the days of the week were derived from the reverence of these celestial deities. And even though the Roman calendar week had once included eight days, the week as a unit of measure, has been mostly linked with the quarterly phases of the moon which in length equal to the passing of 7.38275 24 hour days. An interesting thing to note about the names of the week is that they exclude the earth as a component of the celestial hierarchy. It’s my belief that this reflects the ancients’ knowledge that the earth was not a member of the ‘solar system’ but instead is the foundation for the firmament which was established by Creator for the placement of the heavenly luminaries which revolve in circle around Polaris as the fixed star and center of this firmament. Thus the earth was regarded differently than the other planets. This belief aligns perfectly with the order of creation in Genesis. The titles of the individual days differ slightly according to the particular region, culture, and peoples but essentially the various names relate to the same pantheon of mythological deities. As I show in my sixth book Sons of God, this pantheon is made up of the rebel angels which were cast out of the heavens on the second day prior to the creation of modern humanity. The pre-adamic cultures refer to these supernatural beings as the ancient gods and goddesses but in truth, they are nothing more than the angels of the Most 119
High which were banished from the high heavens long ago and which were given temporary reign over the earth for short time. The names of the 7 days of the week are termed after the sun, moon, and the then five known planets. People living in the United States are most familiar with these designations as Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. These terms find their origin in the Germanic peoples’ names for the Norse gods and goddesses, broken down as (Sun)-day, (Moon)-day, (Twia or Tiu)-sday, (Woden)-sday, (Thor)-sday, (Fria or Freya)-sday, and (Saturn)-sday. The seven day Greek equivalent referred to as ‘Theon hemerai, days of the Gods’ is Helios, Selene, Ares, Hermes, Zeus, Aphrodite, and Cronus. The Roman equivalent is Sol, Luna, Mars, Mercury, Jove (Jupiter), Venus, and Saturn.
The Names of the Months: As a unit of time, the calendar month also holds origin with the moon’s natural cycle of four quarterly phases which averaging 29.531 days corresponds perfectly with the 12 lunar months of God’s calendar which divide the year alternatively by 29 and 30 day durations. The Julian, Gregorian and other solar calendars do not reflect this relationship and vary the length of months from 28 to 31 days. The 12 months which currently comprise the Gregorian solar calendar derive their names as follows: Originally called Januarius, January was named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings. February was named after either the old-Italian god Februus or comes from the Roman festival of purification februa. March was named after the Roman god of war, and also aligns to the 120
time in which the Romans initiated wars against other peoples. Originally called Aprilis, April was named after either the Roman word aperire which meaning to open, possibly refers to flowers budding in response to the warm up or is linked to the Greek goddess Aphrodite. May is speculated to have received its name from the Roman goddess of honor and reverence, Maiesta. June was named after the Roman goddess of marriage, also the Queen of the gods and goddesses Juno. July was originally called Quintilis which means the fifth month, but was later changed to Julius in 44 BCE as a way to honor Julius Caesar, whom being assassinated that year was born in July. August was originally called Sextilis meaning sixth month, but was changed in order to honor the Roman emperor Augustus whom had many fortunate events of his life occur during this month. September was named after the term septem which means seven. October was named after the term octo which means eight. November was named after the term novem which means nine. December was named after the term decem which means ten. The names of the months of September through December reflect that the Roman calendar had at one time only included 10 months. As one can see many of the definitions and terms that we currently use as names for the days and months find their origin in pagan roots. By instituting changes and forcing assimilation of these replacement systems, Satan was able to thwart worship of the Most High God to himself and at the same time able to trick much of God’s people into breaking the first, second, and fourth commandment making them/us willing accomplices in idolatry which desecrating three of the top four commandments, also confounded the preservation of YHWH’s holy feast days. 121
The order of the 10 commandments I believe also relate their significance and reflect, in my opinion the degree of bearing that breaking each of these commandments holds. Which if this is the case, shows just how monumental with respect to sin the repercussions of breaking these top commandments must be in bearing. As such they must have affect upon our eternal salvation, even though most do not recognize it as such. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. – Exodus 20:3-6 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. – Exodus 20:8-11
122
Hosea said my people are killed for lack of knowledge. I believe that such declaration is aligned in part with these deceptions as they have many modern mainstream Christians today unknowingly involved in the worship of idol gods rather than YHWH; since most of the world do utilize the solar calendar for the measurement of time as well as for the observance of its pagan celebrations.

Chapter 10 - Flat Earth Bible Codes Before going into an in-depth study on what Isaiah 40:22 references as the circle of the earth, which many students of scripture believe to be an open and shut case for the description of the earth as a round globe like spherical planet, I would like to share with the readers my discovery of a unique bible code which no one else had previously discovered, which elaborates on the premise of the earth being flat. But before sharing the details of those matrices, I would like to share a little background detail on the web site that I use to study the bible codes as well as why I believe they are and can be relevant for the investigation and discourse of fringe topics such as the flat earth. Ever since one of my listeners sent me the link to this web site years back, I have used it as a tool to confirm some of my most controversial research especially when studying taboo topics that are mostly maligned by proponents of mainstream churchianity. I have found that just because certain topics are shunned by the majority of pastors, preachers, and ministers, the congregations and assemblies of people which look up to them for guidance and direction will shy away and completely avoid even reading about them. This includes those contained in extra Biblical, canonical texts such as Book of Enoch, the Book of Jasher, and the Book of Jubilees even though they are referenced and alluded to in the King James version of the bible, which they believe to be the official and authorized word of God. For most mainstream Christians it doesn’t matter if its mentioned in the agreed upon ‘canon’, it has to be included within that canon otherwise those topics and books are by them considered to be taboo and unworthy of introspection. 125
There are even implied judgments that disclaim, those that study such texts will be marked as ‘adding to the scriptures’ making them, targets for condemnation, and exclusion from the promises of salvation. If one does not want to be irreparably stricken from the Books of Life, one might want to avoid these questionable texts they say. Such kinds of implied threats have succeeded to set boundaries within the minds of canon only types of people, ensuring that they abide by such intimidation, and closely monitoring themselves, ensure they never even crack open much less study or come close to any extra Biblical account. To this day tens of thousands if not millions of people are unwilling to study any of the thousands probably tens of thousands of texts which are shunned with negative connotations such as the pseudipigraphal, gnostic, extra Biblical, or extra canonical books. This also includes the 14 books of the apocrypha which had at one time been included in the original King James Version of the bible. This means that most of the followers of mainstream Christianity including those that they look up to for guidance and direction when investigating all of the little understood aspects of the official authorized and publicly sanctioned 66 book canon which they limit themselves to, will never be able to uncover the many answers which are contained within these ‘other’ texts which detail such incredibly fascinating topics as the Nephilim, giants, watchers, and so on and so forth. Because of this narrow mindedness their pastors, preachers, and ministers themselves are less able to provide any meaningful answer when it comes to Biblical concept such as the ones mentioned above and others like preexistence, predestination, and election to name a few. 126
Not being one of those that likes to adhere to limitations on my study of esoteric topics, I have made it my duty to study every book that I can get my hands on in both physical and online form. This drive has been one of the reasons why I even discovered the topics that I have written upon, and why I am writing the one that I am now working on. Anyways back to the topic of how and why I began to use the bible codes as a tool for confirming the study of fringe topics but first a quick disclaimer. I believe that those that are looked to for guidance on topics and issues which are outside the reach of mainstream Christianity, that we have responsibility to not lead astray or set stumbling blocks before those that seek us out for guidance. However, we also have responsibility for sounding the trumpet on truth especially in relation to a deception which leads many astray as it states in the watchman’s parable in Ezekiel chapter 33. But first and foremost we must ensure that we’re not being deceived ourselves especially since so many respect our opinions from around the world. This is one of the reasons why I support my work with Bible Codes. Knowing that they are inspired, I believe they can be used as tool for confirming whether fringe topics are Biblical or not. For those that do not know what the Bible Codes are or how they work: The Codes foretell names and places of events throughout human history: Holocaust, Sadat, AIDS. Torah Codes cannot tell us information we don't already know. But what they do tell us is that the author of the Torah knew minute details of world history, to our very age. The concept of "encoded information" and a "hidden text" in the Torah is a longstanding Jewish tradition. Nachmanides, 127
Rokeyach, the Maharal, the Vilna Gaon, and others refer in their writings to "hidden information in the letters of the Torah." The reason why Codes have become more “popular” in our time is because modern statistical methods and computers have given us the ability to more easily discover and evaluate these codes. Before I answer your specific questions, let’s first briefly clarify how the Torah Codes work: 1) ELSs (Equidistant Letter Sequences) are words spelled out in a text by skipping an equal number of letters. 2) Any word may appear several times at different skip intervals in the same text – i.e. the Hebrew word "hammer" may appear in a text every 4th letter at a certain point, somewhere else every 29th letter, somewhere else every 245th letter, etc. One of these occurrences will be the "minimal" ELS. (in this example, the ELS of 4). 3) In the Hebrew text of the Torah, the minimal ELSs of related words (e.g. "hammer" and "anvil") appear encoded in close proximity to each other. 4) Objective experiments are performed on large sets of pairs of words to demonstrate that this effect (the proximity of related ELSs) occurs in the Torah much more often than would be statistically expected. They are a facet of Torah akin to numerology (Gematria), a mathematical/linguistic forms that the Talmud itself uses to establish certain facets of Jewish law. An example of an ELS code is explicitly mentioned in a commentary on the Torah written by 128
Rebbeinu Bachya in 1291 (Genesis 1:2). The renowned Rabbi Moshe Cordovero was head of the Rabbinical Court of 16th century Tzfat, Israel. In “Pardes Rimonim,” his commentary on the classic kabbalistic work, The Zohar, he writes that the secrets of the Torah are revealed in its letters through many means, including "skipping of letters" (dilug otiot). While awaiting his fate during the Holocaust, Rabbi Michoel Weismandel discovered many codes in the Torah, by using index cards and his amazing mental powers. Yet in the end, two key questions remain: Are the Codes statistically significant? And if so, did God put it there, and why? After years of rigorous research, two Jerusalem researchers – Doron Witztum and Prof. Eliyahu Rips – produced the extraordinary "Great Rabbis Experiments." They repeatedly demonstrated a level of statistical significance far beyond expectations. They then checked other secular and theological texts – as well as millions of control experiments – but the phenomenon persisted only in the Torah. To avoid any accusation of tampering, the task of deciding on spellings and constructing the list was delegated to an outside expert, Professor Shlomo Zalman Havlin, head of the Department of Information Studies and Bibliography at Bar Ilan University. In 1994, the results of their research was published in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal, Statistical Science. Since then, the Codes phenomenon has been reported on all the major television networks, as well as in Time magazine and the Wall Street Journal. 129
Harold Gans, a cryptologic mathematician with nearly three decades of experience cracking codes for the United States Dept. of Defense, was initially highly skeptical of their results, and conducted an independent experiment to verify the integrity of the data. He was not only able to validate their work, but using their method was able to extend it by pairing the cities of birth and death with the names of the rabbis on their list. Statistical analysis shows that the presence of these names, dates, and cities cannot be reasonably attributed to mere coincidence, the probability of such an occurrence being vanishingly small. Dr. Robert Haralick, Boeing Professor of Electrical Engineering and an expert in Pattern Recognition at the University of Washington, has also confirmed the statistical significance of the original Great Rabbis experiment by redoing the experiment using an entirely different methodology. – Rabbi Aish, (www.aish.com/atr/Torah_Codes_Explained.html) The first time I ever utilized the biblecodewisdom.com web site as tool for confirming a particular topic of interest, was after the publication of my fourth book, Lucifer – The Father of Cain, which unbeknownst to myself at the time of its publication, was, had been, and still is an incredibly controversial topic, one that led to my being blacklisted by many of the burgeoning alternative media Broadcasters that were at that time establishing fellowship communities online. Definitely not a wise move for one just entering into outreach in that way. But how was I to know? 130
Anyways not wanting to be maligned further as a teacher of false principles, or one who would knowingly lead others astray, I decided to investigate the bible codes myself to see if I could find any key words which would connect Eve’s beguilement in the garden to the birth of Cain as a child of Satan the devil. And to my utter amazement, I began discovery of what turned out to be a very elaborate and previously undisclosed matrix. One which uncovered a large number of terms which directly applied to the metaphorical symbolism which unified as concept - the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, with the birth of Cain as scion of the serpent.
For those that don’t know what I’m referencing, the parable of the garden found in Genesis three which relates the account of the serpents temptation of Eve causing her to eat fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, veils symbolically the birth of Cain as the firstborn hybrid son of the devil. Thus the title of my fourth book and reason why I decided to select as keywords for search of matrix - goat Esau Cain devil son seed fruit tree tare. Esau like Cain is considered to be seed and son of the devil, whom as tree sired what Yahushua refers to as the tares or goats. 131
To make a long story short, I was able to discover 7 different matrices encoded across an array of scripture which just so happened to incidentally begin overlay on top of the aforementioned chapter associated to this concept, Genesis chapter three. And so the first matrix overlay was embedded within the specific chapter where Eve’s seduction actually takes place, the last one was embedded across Ephesians chapter 6, which as chapter is most recognized for its connections to the spiritual forces which are aligned against those embodied in the flesh - the powers, principalities, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. The below link leads to that search and the matrices that I discovered: http://www.biblecodewisdom.com/code/goat-esau-caindevil-son-seed-fruit-tree-tare
132
All of the negativity initially made me question whether my work on that topic had been truly inspired by the Most High as the response of the so called ‘Christian’ community had me second guessing the publication of that book. And even though most people did not agree especially mainstream Christians with the premise of that book, I never expected them to react in the demeanor that they did especially when most of them had never even read it. Talk about judging a book by the cover, but it is what it is. Discovering multiple codes in relation to the topic of my 4th book Lucifer – The Father of Cain, confirmed for me the veracity of that research as well as reassuring my teaching of it. They certainly put my mind at ease and provided me a sense of relief that confirmed that I was on the right track, doing the right thing, and that the release of that book was indeed ordained by the Most High God regardless of the large numbers of people that disagreed. Especially since so many hateful e-mail attacks and commentary were being levied against me at that time. And so ever since then whenever initiating research into some fringe topic, I seek confirmation from the bible codes as I believe that not only are they divinely inspired but can when looked to in this manner, corroborate if and whether a topic of research holds any affinity to truth. And because there is no possibility that any human could have thousands of years ago embedded into the Biblical text, a complex algorithm of extensive code such as those matrices which have already been discovered on so many different topics as well as those that are everyday newly discovered; I believed it a safe bet to assume the bible codes divinely inspired by the Most High God especially when 133
found within the Torah as the first five books of the Old Testament dictated directly to Moses by Him. When one considers the bible codes prophetic capacity to foretell events including the birth of individuals thousands of years in advance of their occurrence, it is difficult to deny the divinely inspired nature of such code. Their predictive capacity is in my mind absolute substantiation of their having to have been conceived and assimilated into the Biblical text by what could only be the mind and for the purpose of God. This is why I attest to their profundity as well as why I believe it to be significant when I personally discover a code which uniquely validates the premise of the work that I am doing especially in relation to topics which have never been sought out prior. Individuals like Isaac Newton have for hundreds of years believed that the Hebrew Bible contained within it a highly complex cypher. However, it has only been with the invention of computers and the programming of bible code seeking software that researchers of our generation have been able to probe the Biblical text in search of complex Equidistant Letter Sequences with multiple key words entry. The computers capacity to process in swift manner complicated search of these kinds of matrices, and determination within seconds whether there is indeed something related to the keywords being sought out, has made bible code research an important resource for the study of significant past and the foretelling of future events. Because of this there are now entire career paths and occupations popping up in connection to the application of bible codes as new field of research. 134
The more keywords a code contains as part of the complexity of its matrix, the greater the odds and mathematical probability that it did not come about by chance or accidental means, and the more likelihood that the Most High had to have divinely inspired its encoding into the Biblical texts in order for it to be there. For those of you that may be interested in seeking out codes for yourself, I highly recommend and endorse the web site www.biblecodewisdom.com as I personally have found it easy to use especially since many other bible code software programs have as requisite to use them, an ability to translate English words into Hebrew in order to search out terms. This site does not require familiarity with Hebrew translations and makes possible, searching for topics of interest in English. Another thing that makes this website stand out amongst others besides its being free, is the fact that one can use it without need to download anything onto one’s computer. Those things have made me an avid supporter of the site as portal for bible code research. It is also easy to build upon a code once one has discovered a particular key word one is interested in developing into a matrix. Simply search out one key word at a time, and when one finds one term, add another and see if it comes up as part of the matrix. If not just delete that term and then add another and search again. Keep doing this until you have developed an extensive matrix on the topic one is interested in. It’s that simple. This is how I began my search for a bible code related to the flat earth since this was the topic that I wanted to corroborate. Of course I started with the keywords flat earth since that was the foundation for what I was seeking. 135
Discovering that these terms were encoded, I continued with another term relevant to the study. It was then just a matter of adding one key word at a time and clicking enter to see if it came up as part of the matrix I was trying to add to. I narrowed my search to terms that were consistent with Isaiah’s vision and the description of the earth as described in 40:22. And so the terms that I selected as words to search, were all related to Isaiah’s vision of the earth as seen from above when looking down upon its flat level circular plane with the firmament spread out above as dome or canopy. With this in mind, I just kept plugging more and more words into the search I thought relevant to the vision I was trying to conceptualize as matrix until I had a wide array of collected terms. After a few days the matrix came together and I found together all of these terms as one matrix - flat earth canopy tent truth ring edge even dome. http://www.biblecodewisdom.com/code/flat-earth-canopytent-truth-ring-edge-even-dome
136
I would’ve been able to add more terms but because the search bar only allows one to seek out a certain number of letters, I began an entirely different matrix in association to the concept of the flat earth, as I had found many more terms than could fit as part of the matrix above. And so I started formulation of an entirely new and different matrix using these terms – flat earth fixed disk ring ends. This one I have yet to finish, but as it stands here is the link for. http://www.biblecodewisdom.com/code/flat-earth-fixeddisk-ring-edge-ends
137
Thus in conclusion, my discovery of two different bible codes which both contain a number of terms which relate to the description of the earth as a flat circular plane with dome like canopy spread above it as described by Isaiah in his vision, is in my opinion undeniable proof that this is the shape and model of the world that we live in. Add to that the fact that bible codes as cypher are absolutely again in my opinion, divinely inspired by the Most High God should be verification of the flat earth as a revelation of truth.
138
Chapter 11 – The Circle of the Earth I wanted to in the following chapters examine closely the one scripture that many Biblical scholars and students look to as confirmation of the earth being a round globe like spherical planet. This is the one passage that those of my listeners’ that do not agree with my stance on this issue, send to me as verification for their opposing view. And because they believe this particular passage refers to the earth as a ‘planet’, they use it as reason to not investigate the flat earth any further, impeding any effort which could lead to deeper consideration of it as concept. And so I thought this an appropriate place to start the investigation of whether or not the bible supports a spherical or flat earth. The passage that I am alluding to is: It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: - Isaiah 40:22 It’s my opinion in order for somebody to gain a deeper insight into a particular passage or certain words of a particular passage that one should read the entire chapter as a whole in order to ascertain what exactly is being referenced within the entirety of it. This way nothing is taking out of context as the entire chapter is investigated for further clues on how a specific passage fits into the flow and assertion of the full scripture. It has been my experience that people tend to believe that a certain passage reads one way when upon examination and cross reference with the passages surrounding it which it is embedded within, that often their belief does not match what the 139
scripture is actually saying. And so this is why I believe it is important to look at the entirety of this chapter which reads as follows: [1] Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. [2] Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins. [3] The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. [4] Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: [5] And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. [6] The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: [7] The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. [8] The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. [9] O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! [10] Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. [11] He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. 140
[12] Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? [13] Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counseller hath taught him? [14] With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding? [15] Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. [16] And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. [17] All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. [18] To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? [19] The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. [20] He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. [21] Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? [22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: [23] That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 141
[24] Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. [25] To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. [26] Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. [27] Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? [28] Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. [29] He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. [30] Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: [31] But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. - – Isaiah 40:1-28 The first part of this chapter focuses on what is biblically exclaimed as the day of the Lord which I spoke about somewhat when describing the fall feasts and how the second coming of Yahushua would align with them. The second part is a reflection on how the Most High created the earth and the heavens as portrayed in Genesis chapter one. As detailed in the chapter on the Leviticus 23 holy days, Yahushua’s first coming fulfilled the first four spring and summer festivals and His second coming will fulfill the 142
three remaining fall festivals. The fall festivals align with the blowing of the seventh trumpet which announces the day of the Lord, the judgement seat, and the forthcoming millennial reign. The first part of Isaiah 40 details the destruction of the current age, and recreation of a new earth and heaven, following the day of the Lord which occurs before Christ takes His throne on the judgement seat. And then every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, as all are brought before Him for judgment and determination as to what their eternal inheritance will be. I will share a few passages from one of my most favorite extra Biblical texts as it provides great detail on these events, even mentioning Isaiah 40:4 within it. After reading the detailed description of these end time events, you should be able to see how the fulfillment of the fall feasts as I described, fits in with the first part of Isaiah 40:1-11.
The Seventh Trump Aligns with the Feast of Trumpets Along with them we shall be snatched up in clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And then shall come forth every evil spirit, both in the earth and in the abyss, wherever they are on the face of all the earth, from the rising of the sun even to the setting, and they shall be united to him that is served by the devil, that is, Antichrist, and they shall be lifted up upon the clouds. And again I said: Lord, and after that what will You do? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. Then shall I send forth mine angels 143
over the face of all the earth, and they shall burn up the earth eight thousand five hundred cubits, and the great mountains shall be burnt up, and all the rocks shall be melted and shall become as dust, and every tree shall be burnt up, and every beast, and every creeping thing creeping upon the earth, and every thing moving upon the face of the earth, and every flying thing flying in the air; and there shall no longer be upon the face of all the earth anything moving, and the earth shall be without motion. And again I said: Lord, and after that what will You do? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. Then shall I uncover the four parts of the east, and there shall come forth four great winds, and they shall sweep all the face of the earth from the one end of the earth to the other; and the Lord shall sweep sin from off the earth, and the earth shall be made white like snow, and it shall become as a leaf of paper, without cave, or mountain, or hill, or rock; but the face of the earth from the rising even to the setting of the sun shall be like a table, and white as snow; and the reins of the earth shall be consumed by fire, and it shall cry unto me, saying, I am a virgin before you, O Lord, and there is no sin in me; as the prophet David said aforetime, You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made pure; You shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. And again he said: Every chasm shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill brought low, and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways into smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Isaiah 40:4 144
And again I said: Lord, and after that what will You do? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. Then shall the earth be cleansed from sin, and all the earth shall be filled with a sweet smell, because I am about to come down upon the earth; and then shall come forth the great and venerable sceptre, with thousands of angels worshipping it, as I said before; and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man from the heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 24:30 And then the worker of iniquity with his servants shall behold it, and gnash his teeth exceedingly, and all the unclean spirits shall be turned to flight. And then, seized by invisible power, having no means of flight, they shall gnash their teeth against him, saying to him: Where is your power? How have you led us astray? And we have fled away, and have fallen away from the glory which we had beside Him who is coming to judge us, and the whole human race. Woe to us! Because He banishes us into outer darkness. And again I said: Lord, and after that what will You do? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. Then shall I uncover the four parts of the east, and there shall come forth four great winds, and they shall sweep all the face of the earth from the one end of the earth to the other; and the Lord shall sweep sin from off the earth, and the earth shall be made white like snow, and it shall become as a leaf of paper, without cave, or mountain, or hill, or rock; but the face of the earth from the rising even to the setting of the sun shall be like a table, and white as snow; and the reins of the earth shall be consumed by fire, and it shall cry unto me, saying, I am a virgin 145
before you, O Lord, and there is no sin in me; as the prophet David said aforetime, You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made pure; You shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. And again he said: Every chasm shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill brought low, and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways into smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Isaiah 40:4
The Judgement Seat Aligns with the Day of Atonement And again I said: Lord, and after that what will You do? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. Then shall the earth be cleansed from sin, and all the earth shall be filled with a sweet smell, because I am about to come down upon the earth; and then shall come forth the great and venerable sceptre, with thousands of angels worshipping it, as I said before; and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man from the heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 24:30 And then the worker of iniquity with his servants shall behold it, and gnash his teeth exceedingly, and all the unclean spirits shall be turned to flight. And then, seized by invisible power, having no means of flight, they shall gnash their teeth against him, saying to him: Where is your power? How have you led us astray? And we have fled away, and have fallen away from the glory which we had beside Him who is coming to judge us, and the whole human race. Woe to us! Because He banishes us into outer darkness. 146
And again I said: Lord, and after that what will You do? And I heard a voice saying to me: Then will I send an angel out of heaven, and he shall cry with a loud voice, saying, Hear, O earth, and be strong, says the Lord; for I am coming down to you. And the voice of the angel shall be heard from the one end of the world even to the other, and even to the remotest part of the abyss. And then shall be shaken all the power of the angels and of the many-eyed ones, and there shall be a great noise in the heavens, and the nine regions of the heaven shall be shaken, and there shall be fear and astonishment upon all the angels. And then the heavens shall be rent from the rising of the sun even to the setting, and an innumerable multitude of angels shall come down to the earth; and then the treasures of the heavens shall be opened, and they shall bring down every precious thing, and the perfume of incense, and they shall bring down to the earth Jerusalem robed like a bride. Revelation 21:2 And then there shall go before me myriads of angels and archangels, bearing my throne, crying out, Holy, holy, holy, Lord of Sabaoth; heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Isaiah 6:3 And then will I come forth with power and great glory, and every eye in the clouds shall see me; and then every knee shall bend, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth. Philippians 2:10 And then the heaven shall remain empty; and I will come down upon the earth, and all that is in the air shall be brought down upon the earth, and all the human race and every evil spirit along with Antichrist, and they shall all be set before me naked, and chained by the neck. 147
And again I said: Lord, what will become of the heavens, and the sun, and the moon, along with the stars? And I heard a voice saying to me: Behold, righteous John. And I looked, and saw a Lamb having seven eyes and seven horns. Revelation 5:6 And again I heard a voice saying to me: I will bid the Lamb come before me, and will say, Who will open this book? And all the multitudes of the angels will answer, Give this book to the Lamb to open it. And then will I order the book to be opened. And when He shall open the first seal, the stars of the heaven shall fall, from the one end of it to the other. And when He shall open the second seal, the moon shall be hidden, and there shall be no light in her. And when He shall open the third seal, the light of the sun shall be withheld, and there shall not be light upon the earth. And when He shall open the fourth seal, the heavens shall be dissolved, and the air shall be thrown into utter confusion, as says the prophet: And the heavens are the works of Your hands; they shall perish, but You endure, and they shall all wax old as a garment. And when He shall open the fifth seal, the earth shall be rent, and all the tribunals upon the face of all the earth shall be revealed. And when He shall open the sixth seal, the half of the sea shall disappear. And when He shall open the seventh seal, Hades shall be uncovered. And I said: Lord, who will be the first to be questioned, and to receive judgment? And I heard a voice saying to me, The unclean spirits, along with the adversary. I bid them go into outer darkness, where the depths are. And I said: Lord, and in what place does it lie? And I heard a voice saying to me: 148
Hear, righteous John. As big a stone as a man of thirty years old can roll, and let go down into the depth, even falling down for twenty years will not arrive at the bottom of Hades; as the prophet David said before, And He made darkness His secret place. And I said: Lord, and after them what nation will be questioned? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. There will be questioned of Adam's race those nations, both the Greek and those who have believed in idols, and in the sun, and in the stars, and those who have defiled the faith by heresy, and who have not believed the holy resurrection, and who have not confessed the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost: then will I send them away into Hades, as the prophet David foretold, Let the sinners be turned into Hades, and all the nations that forget God. And again he said: They were put in Hades like sheep; death shall be their shepherd. And again I said: Lord, and after them whom will You judge? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. Then the race of the Hebrews shall be examined, who nailed me to the tree like a malefactor. And I said: And what punishment will these get, and in what place, seeing that they did such things to You? And I heard a voice saying to me: They shall go away into Tartarus, as the prophet David foretold, They cried out, and there was none to save; to the Lord, and He did not hearken to them. And again the Apostle Paul said: As many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in law shall be judged by means of law. Romans 2:12 149
And again I said: Lord, and what of those who have received baptism? And I heard a voice saying to me: Then the race of the Christians shall be examined, who have received baptism; and then the righteous shall come at my command, and the angels shall go and collect them from among the sinners, as the prophet David foretold: The Lord will not suffer the rod of the sinners in the lot of the righteous; and all the righteous shall be placed on my right hand, Matthew 25:33 and shall shine like the sun. Matthew 13:43 As you see, John, the stars of heaven, that they were all made together, but differ in light, 1 Corinthians 15:41 so shall it be with the righteous and the sinners; for the righteous shall shine as lights and as the sun, but the sinners shall stand in darkness. And again I said: Lord, and do all the Christians go into one punishment?— kings, high priests, priests, patriarchs, rich and poor, bond and free? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. As the prophet David foretold, The expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. Now about kings: they shall be driven like slaves, and shall weep like infants; and about patriarchs, and priests, and Levites, of those that have sinned, they shall be separated in their punishments, according to the nature of the peculiar transgression of each—some in the river of fire, and some to the worm that dies not, and others in the seven-mouthed pit of punishment. To these punishments the sinners will be apportioned.
The Millennial Reign Aligns with the Feast of Tabernacles 150
And again I said: Lord, and where will the righteous dwell? And I heard a voice saying to me: Then shall paradise be revealed; and the whole world and paradise shall be made one, and the righteous shall be on the face of all the earth with my angels, as the Holy Spirit foretold through the prophet David: The righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell therein for ever and ever. And again I said: Lord, how great is the multitude of the angels? And which is the greater, that of angels or of men? And I heard a voice saying to me: As great as is the multitude of the angels, so great is the race of men, as the prophet has said, He set bounds to the nations according to the number of the angels of God. And again I said: Lord, and after that what will You do? And what is to become of the world? Reveal to me all. And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. After that there is no pain, there is no grief, there is no groaning; there is no recollection of evils, there are no tears, there is no envy, there is no hatred of brethren, there is no unrighteousness, there is no arrogance, there is no slander, there is no bitterness, there are none of the cares of life, there is no pain from parents or children, there is no pain from gold, there are no wicked thoughts, there is no devil, there is no death, there is no night, but all is day. As I said before, And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold, that is, men who have been made like the angels through their excellent course of life; them also must I bring, and they will hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, one shepherd. – The Revelation of Saint John the Theologian 151
The second portion of Isaiah chapter 40 is a reflection on how the Most High fashioned the earth and its heavenly luminaries in Genesis chapter 1. This is the part of the text that I would like to emphasize for discussion in regard to the shape and form of the earth. I will especially focus on those passages that I highlighted in this second part, looking up in the Strong’s Concordance specific words of those particular scriptures. It is my hope that the specific description of their formation will give us a better understanding of their characteristics and better enable us to picture in our minds the conception of how their establishment and fashioning took place. [12] Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? [19] The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. [20] He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. [21] Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? [22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: 152
[28] Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. - Isaiah 40:12, 19-22, 28 Of the entire chapter I think investigation of these specific phrases will better enable us to assess the overall content of the entire chapter. Together they will help us to gain deeper insight into what exactly Isaiah’s describing for the process of how the Creator fashioned the earth and the heavens together as one world. The Strong’s Concordance as a tool will further our investigation into the original Hebrew words which were translated into these English phrases. It will also help us to better understand why a certain English word was chosen to illustrate that activity. Applying this insight to verse 22’s description of the circle of the earth, should help us to clarify what Isaiah meant in describing the creation in the second half of chapter 40 as a whole.

Chapter 12 – Strong’s Concordance Translation of Isaiah 40 In order to gain more insight into the phrases that I had highlighted in previous chapter, as well as others that I will include with this study, I will utilize the Strong's Concordance as tool to determine why a particular English word was selected by the scribes for translation into the King James Version of the Biblical manuscript. Studying these words and phrases in the original Hebrew or Greek will help us to glean what Isaiah and other Old Testament prophets were led by the Holy Spirit to author in writing the scriptures as well as what exactly they were meaning to convey as concept for the passages that I am interested in for this particular study. For those that have never used the Strong’s Concordance, one can find a free online version of it at the website www.blueletterbible.org. As a Biblical research tool, the concordance can in my opinion be an essential way for scholars to gain further insight into the intended meaning of certain word or phrase when going back to its original lexicon, as I will show in deciphering those phrases set aside for focus upon in this chapter. Sometimes the English word that was selected for translation from the initial Hebrew or Greek by translators can be better understood when one looks at the other aspects of the full definition associated to that word or phrase. Plugging those meanings into the context of the original narrative, can often times bring to the forefront extra details which many times elaborate further upon the meaning of those certain words or phrases which were translated as they appear in the King James Version of the Biblical scripture. 155
Another very useful aspect of the Strong’s Concordance which can assist one’s investigation on specific phraseology, is the inclusion of a tally which details not only the number of times a Hebrew or Greek word appears in the scriptures, but also the exact number of times a particular translation was selected for best capturing the primary meaning as well as where it appears in the bible. In addition the online version contains the specific words which were used and when clicked will direct one to where those translations actually appear within the text. This detailed breakdown helps one to gain insight into the overt and implied meaning of the certain word or phrase in question. And so let us begin with: [12] Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? Verse 12: Meted Out תָּכַןtâkan, taw-kan'; a primitive root; to balance, i.e. measure out (by weight or dimension); figuratively to arrange, equalize, through the idea of levelling (ment, estimate, test):—bear up, direct, be (un-)equal, mete, ponder, tell, weigh. The KJV translates Strongs H8505 18x in the following manner: equal (7x), weigh (3x), pondereth (2x), unequal (2x), directed (1x), misc (3x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. to regulate, measure, estimate, ponder, balance, make even, level, weigh, be equal, be weighed out, test, prove 156
1. 2.
3. 4.
(Qal) estimate (participle) (Niphal) 1. to be estimated 2. to be made even or right, be adjusted to the standard (Piel) to weigh out, mete out (Pual) 1. to be weighed out, be measured out 2. measured out (participle)
Heaven – שָׁמַיִםshâmayim, shaw-mah'-yim; dual of an unused singular שָׁמֶהshâmeh; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve):—air, × astrologer, heaven(-s). The KJV translates Strongs H8064 420x in the following manner: heaven (398x), air (21x), astrologers (with H1895) (1x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. heaven, heavens, sky 1. visible heavens, sky 1. as abode of the stars 2. as the visible universe, the sky, atmosphere, etc 2. Heaven (as the abode of God) Span – H2219 זֶרֶתzereth, zeh'-reth; from H2219; the spread of the fingers, i.e. a span:—span. The KJV translates Strongs H2239 7x in the following manner: span (7x). 157
Outline of Biblical Usage 1. span 1. a unit of measure, approx half-cubit, or the distance from the thumb to the little finger on an outstretched hand If one looks at the individual components comprising the specific phrases highlighted from verse 12 (meted out heaven with the span) in the Hebrew, together they imply that the firmament as the abode of stars, lofty sky, heavens, visible universe, and abode of God was weighed, measured, and spread out by the fingers of God. I believe the reference to the fingers of God is meant to show that the establishment of the heavens was not a difficult task for the Most High and that in order to manifest the firmament as part of the creation it did not require tremendous effort on His behalf. That rather than being a hugely difficult task to accomplish, it was an easy process for Him to achieve. This extra detail illustrates the omniscience of the Most High God in realizing the different aspects of the universe. It also aligns with a passage in the Targums which relates the same concept with regard to the creation of the heavens. And the Lord made the expanse, upbearing it with three fingers, between the confines of the heavens and the waters of the ocean, and separated between the waters which were below the expanse, and the waters which were above, in the collection (or covering) of the expanse; and it was so. And the Lord called the expanse the Heavens. And it was evening, and it was morning, the Second Day. – Palestinian Targum, Genesis 1

[19] The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. Verse 19 – melteth a graven image, spreadeth it over Melteth ְ נָסַךnâçak, naw-sak'; a primitive root; to pour out, especially a libation, or to cast (metal); by analogy, to anoint a king:— cover, melt, offer, (cause to) pour (out), set (up). The KJV translates Strongs H5258 25x in the following manner: pour out (12x), pour (4x), cover (3x), offer (2x), melteth (1x), molten (1x), set (1x), set up (1x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. to pour out, pour, offer, cast 1. (Qal) 1. to pour out 2. to cast metal images 3. to anoint (a king) 2. (Niphal) to be anointed 3. (Piel) to pour out (as a libation) 4.

159
The KJV translates Strongs H6459 31x in the following manner: graven image (28x), carved image (2x), graven (1x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. idol, image Spreadeth רָקַעrâqaʻ, raw-kah'; a primitive root; to pound the earth (as a sign of passion); by analogy to expand (by hammering); by implication, to overlay (with thin sheets of metal):— beat, make broad, spread abroad (forth, over, out, into plates), stamp, stretch. The KJV translates Strongs H7554 11x in the following manner: spread (6x), stamp (2x), stretch (1x), beat (1x), made broad (1x).

(Pual) beaten out (participle) 4. (Hiphil) to make a spreading (of clouds) If one looks at the individual components of these phrases (melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over) in the Hebrew, as description they relate how the Most High as workman or goldsmith, poured out, cast, melted, set up as carved image, idol the earth then covered over by the firmament which was expanded, stamped, beat out, spread, and stretched as overlay above it. According to the order of Genesis chapter one, the earth was first established upon the waters of the deep, and then later 160
covered by this firmament. Then the heavenly luminaries were placed within it as components of the clockwork mechanism of the heavens used for timekeeping. The earth and heavens together make up the physical world which was established as dwelling place for the creatures which would later be brought into being in myriad form. [20] He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. Verse 20 – prepare, that shall not be moved Prepare כּוּןkûwn, koon; a primitive root; properly, to be erect (i.e. stand perpendicular); hence (causatively) to set up, in a great variety of applications, whether literal (establish, fix, prepare, apply), or figurative (appoint, render sure, proper or prosperous):—certain(-ty), confirm, direct, faithfulness, fashion, fasten, firm, be fitted, be fixed, frame, be meet, ordain, order, perfect, (make) preparation, prepare (self), provide, make provision, (be, make) ready, right, set (aright, fast, forth), be stable, (e-) stablish, stand, tarry, × very deed. The KJV translates Strongs H3559 219x in the following manner: prepare (85x), establish (58x), ready (17x), stablish (5x), provide (5x), right (5x), fixed (4x), set (4x), direct (3x), order (3x), fashion (3x), variant (2x), certain (2x), confirmed (2x), firm (2x), preparation (2x), misc (17x).

Outline of Biblical Usage 1. to totter, shake, slip 1. (Qal) to totter, shake, slip 2. (Niphal) to be shaken, be moved, be overthrown 3. (Hiphil) to dislodge, let fall, drop 4. (Hithpael) to be greatly shaken If one looks at the individual components comprising these specific passages (prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved) in the Hebrew, one will discover that both phrases signify that the earth was set up, fixed, securely determined, directed, prepared, arranged, settled, furnished, and fastened as a carved image, idol that would not totter, fall, slip, or move, and could not be overthrown or dislodged. All of the key words for both of these phrases exemplify the earth being fixed, stationary, and immovable as it states in many other passages such as 1 Chronicles 16:30, Psalms 93:1, Psalms 96:10, Psalms 104:5, and Isaiah 45:18. [21] Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? Verse 21 – foundations of the earth 163
Foundations מוֹסָדָהmôwçâdâh, mo-saw-daw'; or מֹסָדָהmôçâdâh; feminine of H4144; a foundation:—foundation. The KJV translates Strongs H4146 10x in the following manner: foundation (10x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. foundation Earth אֶרֶץʼerets, eh'-rets; from an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or partitively a land):—× common, country, earth, field, ground, land, × natins, way, + wilderness, world.

If one looks at verse 21 as a whole in the Hebrew, Isaiah asks the reader, have you not learned, perceived, distinguished, considered, come to know, been instructed, heard, regarded, discerned, observed from the head, height, front, beginning? Have you not understood from the foundation of the earth as land, country, field, territory, district, ground, and wilderness - that it is God, the Creator of us all, the Most High which sitteth upon the circle of the earth. [22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: Verse 22 - sitteth, circle, inhabitants, stretcheth, heavens, curtain, spreadeth, tent, dwell 165
Sitteth, Inhabitants, Dwell In - All of these words are English translations of the same Hebrew word: בַשָׁיyâshab, yaw-shab'; a primitive root; properly, to sit down (specifically as judge. in ambush, in quiet); by implication, to dwell, to remain; causatively, to settle, to marry:—(make to) abide(-ing), continue, (cause to, make to) dwell(-ing), ease self, endure, establish, × fail, habitation, haunt, (make to) inhabit(-ant), make to keep (house), lurking, × marry(ing), (bring again to) place, remain, return, seat, set(-tle), (down-) sit(-down, still, -ting down, -ting (place) -uate), take, tarry. The KJV translates Strongs H3427 1,088x in the following manner: dwell (437x), inhabitant (221x), sit (172x), abide (70x), inhabit (39x), down (26x), remain (23x), in (22x), tarry (19x), set (14x), continue (5x), place (7x), still (5x), taken (5x), misc (23x).

But before we get there let us look at one final passage from this particular chapter.
169
[28] Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. Verse 28 – ends of the earth Ends קָצָהqâtsâh, kaw-tsaw'; feminine of H7097; (used like H7097) a termination:—coast, corner, (selv-) edge, lowest, (uttermost) participle. The KJV translates Strongs H7098 35x in the following manner: end (22x), lowest (3x), uttermost part (2x), edges (2x), selvedge (2x), misc (4x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. end, extremity 1. end 2. from the whole of, from among (of what is included between extremities) [28] Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. If one looks at the individual components comprising this scripture in Hebrew, Isaiah asks the reader, have you not learned, perceived, distinguished, considered, come to know, been instructed, heard, regarded, observed? Has it not been told, proclaimed to you, have you not discerned that the old, ancient, forever, everlasting, perpetual, continuous, indefinite, unending, evermore existent ruler, judge, divine one, YHWH, Yᵉhôvâh, the self-existent, 170
eternal Creator, Shaper, Former, Fashioner of the ends, extremities, mouths, borders, outskirts of the earth as land, country, field, territory, district, ground, and wilderness, never faints, tires, becomes weary, or exhausted? There is no examining, investigating, inquiring, enumerating of His knowledge, insight, intelligence. Isaiah asks in verse 28 the same kinds of rhetorical questions He did in verse 21, so as to invoke nostalgia within the reader, causing them to reflect upon the creation as presented in Genesis, and leading them to consider his appeal. And so like verse 21, he is asking them basically where have you been that you have not heard, learned, perceived, been taught, instructed or come to know that it is God, the Creator of us all, the Most High which did and will do all of these things (Recreation of the earth and the heavens – first part of Isaiah 40:1-11) and whom established the current earth and heavens (reflection on Genesis chapter One – second part of Isaiah 40:12-31).

Chapter 13 - Verse Meaning for Isaiah 40:22 [22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: Since this is the specific passage which many allude to in order to establish as fact that the earth is spherical and is also the sole scripture that people send to me when challenging the premise of the work that I’ve done on the flat earth as model for world; I thought I would elaborate in more detail upon the explanation of the meaning of this verse, in order to ensure that you as reader, can not only fathom my assessment of it but also comprehend beyond a shadow of a doubt why it does not apply to a description of the earth as a planet. I want to make sure that my disclosure in this chapter clarifies this misconception with certainty, so that this chapter and verse can no longer be misconstrued as verification of the earth’s spherical shape. And so in order to set the foundation for this discussion, let us first look at the meaning of this particular passage utilizing the key word definitions which were disclosed using the Strong’s Concordance. Keep in mind that the words sitteth, inhabitants, and dwell, are all English translations of the same Hebrew word yashab. Inserting the keywords from the concordance into each of the components of the Isaiah 40:22 passage unveils the meaning of this scripture as: [22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that 173
stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: It is He (The Most High) that dwells, remains, abides, sits down, sets, remains, stays, has as abode the firmament which encloses as circle, circuit, compass, the land, country, field, territory, district, ground, and wilderness which as place of residence for the inhabitants which were placed, made to dwell, abide, inhabit, settle, sit, remain, continue, endure, and tarry upon the earth like grasshoppers, locusts; that stretched, spread, extended, wrested, caused to yield the abode of stars, lofty sky, heavens, visible universe, abode of God as veil, curtain stretched, spread out as home, tabernacle, tent, and place of residence for all the inhabitants which were placed, made to dwell, abide, inhabit, settle, sit, remain, continue, endure, and tarry upon it. Notice that the earth and the heavens together take on the shape of a tabernacle or tent. If one considers the circle of the earth as the floor and the heavens which were spread above it as a curtained roof, would not that description exactly fit the description of a tabernacle or tent? The circle of the earth referenced in this passage when viewed in this context with all of the other passages which affirm that the earth was prepared and established as fixed, stationary, and immovable foundation for the heavens which were later established as firmament above it; does not this description come to life in connection to the visualization of a home similar to the sukkot that the Israelites may have used during their 40 years of wandering through the wilderness or those used by Bedouins now? For me this is exactly the picture that comes to mind. 174
And so let us investigate the keyword circle in the Strong’s Concordance. When one looks up the Hebrew word for circle it comes up as the word חוּגchûwg, khoog translated three times in scripture once as circle as in this case, once as circuit, and once as compass. When one visualizes these three definitions together in my opinion, they reference more a two dimensional circle as drawn upon a piece of paper as would be viewed from above, than a round spherical ball like form. The reason I say this is because when one does try to find a word in the original Hebrew which could apply to the description of the earth as a globe, planet, or sphere, the closest one can come as term for such shape is the key word ball. There are no other terms that can convey the idea of the earth as being a planet, globe, or sphere in the Hebrew lexicon, such terms just do not exist. As a plural word ‘planets’ can be found once in scripture as reference to the signs of the zodiac. And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. – 2 Kings 23:5 Planets מַזָּלָהmazzâlâh, maz-zaw-law'; apparently from H5140 in the sense of raining; a constellation, i.e. Zodiacal sign (perhaps as affecting the weather):—planet. Compare H4216. 175
The KJV translates Strongs H4208 1x in the following manner: planet (1x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. constellations 1. signs of zodiac (maybe) Within scripture the planets are associated to the 12 constellations which are part of the houses comprising the individual signs of the zodiac. The earth is never alluded to as a planet since it is not included within the firmament as part of the heavenly luminaries. The earth is instead viewed as the foundation for the firmament spread above and which contains all of the constellations, planets, and other heavenly luminaries placed into, and which are housed within it. And as a detailed earlier, this is also why the earth was not included in the naming of the days of the week which received their designation from the heavenly hosts. And so the closest that one can get to describing the earth as a planet, globe, or sphere is with the word ball, which incidentally is used only once within scripture by Isaiah 18 chapters prior to his description of the earth as a circle with the heavens spread out as curtain above it in chapter 40. He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. – Isaiah 22:18 When one looks up the word ball in the Strong’s Concordance it is listed as the Hebrew word דּוּרdûwr, dure; which though similarly referenced as circle is defined as ball, pile, turn, and round about. These terms are found 176
within scripture three times - once as ball, once as round about, and once as burn; as definitions they are all vastly dissimilar to the definitions of the Hebrew word חוּגchûwg, khoog which also meaning circle, is further listed as circuit, or compass. Ball דּוּרdûwr, dure; from H1752; a circle, ball or pile:—ball, turn, round about. The KJV translates Strongs H1754 3x in the following manner: ball (1x), round about (1x), burn (1x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. ball, circle 1. circle 2. ball Circle חוּגchûwg, khoog; from H2328; a circle:—circle, circuit, compass. The KJV translates Strongs H2329 3x in the following manner: circle (1x), circuit (1x), compass (1x). Outline of Biblical Usage 1. circle, circuit, compass 2. (BDB) vault (of the heavens) If Isaiah wanted to describe the earth as a spherical globe like planet, he could have done so with the word ball which he used just 18 chapters prior to his description of the earth as a flat two dimensional circular plane. The fact that he did not compounded by the fact that there does not exist within the scriptures, a description of the earth as a ‘planet’ verifies in my opinion, my assertion that what Isaiah was 177
truly implying by this particular passage, is that the earth and the heavens which are spread out above it, comprise together the world in the shape of a tabernacle or tent. This allusion fits exactly with the full accounting of all of the passages which together comprise the overall theme of Isaiah 40. All of the previous portions of the scripture that I highlighted and explained from the preceding chapter, all relate to the formation, creation, and description of the earth and the heavens as they were formed, shaped, and manifest by the intent of the Most High God as Creator of both. When one reads how this creation took place in the Sepher Yetzirah, the Book of Creation, it describes how Yahushua as the Word of God sang the creation into being utilizing the 22 characters of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet as is cited in John chapter one. It also shows that the manifestation of creation was not a difficult task for either the Father or the Son, aligning with verse 12’s reference to the heavens being spread by the fingers of the Most High. The phrases and keywords of the preceding passages found in the second part of Isaiah chapter 40 which reminisces on how God manifest the earth and the heavens (verse 12-31), together taken in conjunction with Isaiah 40: 22 summarize how the earth was realized as foundation for the heavens manifest above. I think that it is necessary and important to study the entirety of the chapter as a whole, so as to gain full insight into the individual words which were selected by Isaiah to convey the descriptive account of that process. When one does this research it is my belief that these scriptures sync up to illustrate like Genesis how God as an artisan or sculptor shaped the image of the earth for the canopy of heaven which was then stretched over it. 178
These particular phrases also undeniably ascribe the preparation of the earth as a firm, fixed, immovable plane which is encompassed by the Antarctic ice wall cited as being the outer ring, edge, and ends of the earth as mentioned I believe in the following passages. [29] When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: - Proverbs 8:29 [8] Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? [9] When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, [10] And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, [11] And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? – Job 38:8-11 [5] Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. [6] Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. [7] At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. [8] They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. [9] Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. – Psalms 104:5-9 The Antarctic ice wall is the exterior boundary for the circle of the earth which serves as foundational base for the heavenly firmament spread out as curtain above it. Taken 179
in context the chapter as a whole speaks of the earth and heavens as being in the shape of a tent or tabernacle with the earth being floor and heavens as walls and ceiling. Together they represent the world as an encased dome like structure which was especially fashioned as place of habitation for humanity and the creatures later created to be settled upon it. This symbolism is also why God refers to the earth as His footstool as mentioned in these following passages. Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? – Isaiah 66:1 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? – Acts 7:49 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. – Matthew 5:35

Chapter 14 – The Tabernacle of the Sun Before we leave the study of scripture and the investigation of specific words utilizing the Strong’s Concordance, I would like to bring out one final passage even though there are numerous I could bring up in conjunction with this particular investigation. But for time’s sake and so that I don’t have to write all those chapters especially since I know that many of you are reading this book in order to see how I decrypt the Book of Enoch’s - The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, I will bring forth one final piece to this puzzle before going into that discourse. When one looks up the term circle in the Strong’s concordance, it is defined as circle, circuit, and compass. When one looks up circuit using the Strong’s, one of the passages that comes up is Psalms 19. This is the passage we will investigate within this chapter as this specific scripture will be the perfect leeway into the study of the courses of the heavenly luminaries since it describes within it the ‘circuit’ of the sun. That passage and the particular phrases from it that I want to investigate more deeply are highlighted below. [1] The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. [2] Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. [3] There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. [4] Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, [5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. [6] His going forth is from the end of the 181
heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. - Psalms 19:1-6 Before we break this passage down in regards to its intended meaning, let us first look at the translations of the highlighted words so as to get a better understanding of their overall context and how they relate to the discussion of the Book of Enoch’s - The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries.

This description aligns exactly with what I will be discussing in next chapter as Enoch’s description of the sun’s movement above the earth. And so let us fill in the blanks and see exactly how these verses elaborate on what I am and will be alluding to. [1] The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. [2] Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. [3] There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. [4] Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end 188
of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, [5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. [6] His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. - Psalms 19:1-6
Individual Verse Meanings Verse 1 – The heavens count, recount, relate, rehearse, declare the glory of God; and the vault of heaven supporting the waters above avow, acknowledge, confess, announce, publish, declare, proclaim His deed, work, undertaking, enterprise, business, labor, pursuit, achievement. Verse 2 – From evening to morning every day, they pour forth, emit, belch forth word, saying, promise, command, and night unto night declare, show, make known discernment, understanding, wisdom. Verse 3 - There is no utterance, word, promise, command nor saying, where their sound, noise is not perceived, understood, regarded. Verse 4 - Their cord, measuring line is gone forth, exited, come out, proceeded through all the land, country, territory, field, ground, wilderness, and their word, speech, utterance to the extremity, end, mouth, border, outskirts of the world. In them hath He set, established, put, placed, appointed, stationed, a tent, covering, home, tabernacle, dwelling place for the sun.
189
Verse 5 - Which as a bridegroom, husband has exited, gone forth, departed, preceded from chamber, room, canopy, closet, and exulting, rejoicing as a strong, mighty, brave man, champion darts, moves quickly, hurries on way, path, or road. Verse 6 – His (the sun’s) departing, exiting east, going forth, rising is from the end, extremity, border, outskirts of the abode of the stars, visible universe, sky, heaven, abode of God, and it’s revolution, course, circuit unto the end, extremity, border, outskirts of it: and there is nothing concealed, hidden from its heat thereof. Precise meaning of Psalms 19 with Strong’s interpretation: The heavens relate the majesty of God; and the vault of heaven proclaim His achievement. From evening to morning every day, they pour forth utterance, and night unto night make known wisdom. There is no word nor saying, where their sound is not regarded. A line has gone out to measure all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In them He hath stationed a home for the sun. It goes forth from its chamber exulting like a champion running a race. Its departing is from the east end of heaven, and its revolution to the other end of it. And nothing is concealed from its heat thereof. The reason I brought this psalm up as prelude to the investigation of the Book of Enoch’s - The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, is because it conforms exactly to the description of the sun’s revolution above the earth and across the heavens as explained within it. Investigation of Psalms 19’s discourse on the circuit of the sun, has laid the foundation for what I will be explaining as decipherment and in depth analysis of the portion of the text 190
on the motion of the sun. The motion and phases of the moon are covered in the secondary portion of that text. And so one should be able to conceptualize from these scriptures that it is the sun which moves in course above the earth and not the earth which moves around the sun. Its circuit takes it from one end of the world to the other, and its heat extends to every part of the entirety of the earth. Enoch adds a lot more detail on the precise nature of its circuit, describing how it begins its daily revolution from the eastern end of the sky, and in one 24 hour period moves around the face of the earth until returning back to the other end of the earth where it preceded from. These four things (the bible codes, Genesis’ order of creation, Isaiah 40, and Psalms 19) together in my opinion, set the premise that the earth was fashioned by the Creator as fixed, immovable, and stationary plane for the establishment of the firmament above it. The revolutions of the heavenly luminaries placed within this firmament, establish basis for the measurement of time. The earth and heavens together as world, form what Isaiah referred to in shape as a tabernacle or a tent. The earth being the flat circular floor, and the firmament being the walls and canopy surrounding the enclosure. Does this mean that the world is separated from everything else and completely contained? Perhaps, it does seem to point to that but I’m still not exactly sure. I do know that the bible emphatically asserts that the world we live on is a flat stationary circular plane. Even with such evidence presented to them, many are still unwilling to embrace the flat earth as revelation, and will continue to deny all the information which daily accumulates as evidence against their belief that we live on a globe. 191
At least now they can no longer use Isaiah 40:22 as verse and chapter for Biblical confirmation of the earth as ball like planet especially since their reason for quoting this passage in support of that belief, does not in any way correspond to the meaning of that particular portion of the text, but rather attests to the earth being flat. There are three other things that I would ask the reader to consider when trying to grasp as visual the overall theme of the flat earth as concept for world. Prior to my study of this topic I had never even thought of how these three particular scriptures aligned with this concept, but now after having done so, their relationship to this topic, makes complete and total sense. The three things that I am referring to are: 1) Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a tree growing in the midst of the earth. 2) The devil taking Yahushua to an exceeding high mountain to show Him all of the kingdoms of the world. And 3) Yahushua’s second coming as lightning being witnessed by every eye from one end of the world to the other. Nebuchadnezzar: Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth: Daniel: The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the 192
heaven had their habitation: It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. – Daniel 4:10-11, 20-22 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; - Matthew 4:8 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. – Luke 4:5 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. – Matthew 24:27 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. – Revelation 1:7 Nebuchadnezzar describes in his dream a tree which grows up in the midst of the earth and that reaching unto heaven, was able to be seen from one end of the earth to the other. Yahushua is taken by the devil to the top of an exceedingly high mountain and offered all the kingdoms of the world, should He just bow in worship before him. Both Matthew and Revelation describe Christ’s return at the end of days as being like lightning witnessed from one end of the earth to the other and that every eye shall see Him in coming.
193
When one really considers the details of these accounts and how they apply to the description of the earth, would not their unfolding make much more sense when applied to a flat circular plane as opposed to a globe like planet. For how else would a tree be visible from one side of the earth to the other? How else would Yahushua be able to see all of the kingdoms of the world together in one instance? And how would all of the peoples of the world be able to witness His return all together at one time? These things just do not make clear sense in relation to a ball like planet whereas if we apply them to a flat plane, they all make sense as possibility. With such thought in mind, consider how the two passages below also relate to this principle as applied to the flat earth. [24] For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; - Job 28:24 [3] He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. – Job 37:3
194
195
Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. – Jeremiah 10:1-2
196
II. Chapter 15 –The Book on the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries Deciphered Enoch Chapter 71 Enoch 71:1 The book of the revolutions of the luminaries of heaven, according to their respective classes, their respective powers, their respective periods, their respective names, the places where they commence their progress, and their respective months, which Uriel, the holy angel who was with me, explained to me; he who conducted them. The whole account of them, according to every year of the world for ever, until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal. In order to understand the premise of what I will be explaining, one must be able to conceptualize the circle of the earth described by Isaiah, as backdrop for the movements of the sun and moon when looking down upon it from above. To better understand what I am talking about look up an azimuthal equidistant projection map, as it presents the earth orientated in this way. It’s easy to find one of these maps, all one has to do is search the internet for an image of the United Nations flag. This flag has displayed upon it an emblem which features one centered upon a grid of 33 equally divided sections lying between a wreath made of two branches of an olive tree. The fact that the United Nations as seat of world government flies on its banner an insignia which discloses the world conformed in this manner, should imply to the reader a little something about the relevancy of this knowledge and how it is flaunted by the world elite, hidden in plain sight. 197
- United Nations Emblem As this image shows, the continents of the earth encompass and spread around the arctic region, the North Pole being the exact center of this map. Being able to perceive the earth situated in this demeanor, is critical for grasping the revelation that I will be sharing as I explain the break-down of how it relates to the movement of the heavenly luminaries. It is this understanding which I will be detailing throughout this section of the book. Enoch describes the revolution of the sun and moon as happening in clockwise rotation above that portion of the earth which lies between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Divided into six equal segments called the gates of heaven, the circuits of sun and moon are confined to this sector of sky, making this region of the earth the portion which receives the most direct sunlight. This expanse governs the revolution of the sun as it daily ascends or descends while travelling through these individual gates over the course of the year. Enoch begins the discourse of their movements while the sun and moon are positioned directly above the equator between the third and fourth gates. 198
In detailing these movements, I will allude to the backdrop of the earth as a clocks face when detailing the specific migrations of the sun and moon upon it. The termination boundary where light and shadow meet establishes the dividing line between night and day. Like the hand of a clock, the sun moves in clockwise rotation around the face of the earth illuminating that portion situated within its luminescence. That area of the earth not residing within its field of luminescence remains engulfed in darkness experiencing night. The part of the earth lying west of the sun’s movement, witness sunrise as it enters its luminosity. The areas of the earth lying east of the sun’s movement, upon reaching the vanishing point witness sunset.
One can see by the above illustration that day is determined by those hours whereupon one remains in the sun’s field of illumination. When its luminosity disappears from view, one experiences night until its luminescence returns in morning to bathe one again in the glory of its light. Night and day shift together in congruity with the sun’s revolution above the earth, not because the earth spins on an axis once every 24 hours as it annually orbits around the sun. 199
We are traditionally taught in school that sunrise occurs over the eastern horizon, as the portion of the earth cloaked in darkness spins towards and enters into daylight. And that sunset occurs over the western horizon, as the portion of the earth bathed in daylight spins away from the sun and is swallowed up by night. On a flat level plane where the sun never deviates from placement above the earth, sunsets and sunrises are rather created by the sun leaving or entering a viewer’s line of sight. In order to explain this phenomenon better, visualize a stretch of road, extending on continuously for countless miles in a straight line to the horizon with telephone or power poles lining its side. Most can visualize this having had this kind of experience, the road, telephone or power poles lining its side converging to a point, appear to get smaller and smaller as they extend to the horizon until having reached a vanishing point seem to disappear from view. This same thing happens with the sun. As its setting, it will appear to get smaller and smaller getting closer and closer to the horizon until having reached enough distance from the observer, suddenly disappears from view; and yet it remains at fixed altitude vigilant in its circuit around and above the earth never having moved towards or dipped below the horizon. And just as the portion of the land, telephone poles, and interstate or highway road which were unseen come into view as one gets closer to reaching ones destination, so will the sun reappear as sunrise in morning when an observer enters again it’s luminescence.
200
As a poet I can’t tell you how many sunsets and sunrises I have marveled over during the course of my life, being blown away by the dynamics of it all, believing myself beholden to a star which as center of our solar system, gravitationally maintains the orbits of its planetary subjects. I would think here I am a tiny inhabitant situated on the third of nine planets in orbit around its grand spectacle, located 92,960,000 miles away from its life giving shine, at the perfect distance so as to not be fried by its rays, or frozen in the frigid waste of empty space being too far away from the gleam of its warmth. Sunsets have always been my most favorite time of day. When younger after work or school, I would jog up to this quiet ridge near the house that I grew up in, and getting there just in time for twilight would settle in to witness the subtle transition of day yielding to night. How I would spend countless hours pressing pen to paper deliberating in prose over how incredibly blessed we are as human beings, 201
to have been granted opportunity by the Creator to experience the glamour of life in all of its appeal. I wanted others to feel what it meant to me, to be alive as part of the great mystery of creation, to touch something within them so that they would recognize and connect with the extreme gratitude that I felt every day as I woke to new possibility, being overwhelmed by the majesty of what we daily have chance to perceive. And even though I understand the dynamics of this incredible interplay of life in new way, I am no less blown away by the magnificence of its design. Even with the realization that the proportions of the sun, moon, and earth are different than what I had been taught and believed for most of my life, I find myself no less amazed by the particulars of sunset, still being overcome by the dynamics of night giving way to day or day yielding to night. For me there’s no better time to simply be out in the creation, witness to the dynamic of such unfolding. I consider sunset to be the greatest picture show on earth and know for a fact that no Hollywood production or laser light show anywhere in the world, can compare to its unfolding especially if taking place over a large body of water like a lake or ocean, with clouds present to diffuse the sun’s light in pastel ambience. To think this happens freely every day, nobody has to pay a thing, and no person or corporation can monopolize it as event, and yet few pay attention to its monumental extravaganza. If anything I am more impressed by the truth of it all.
202
Chapter 16 – The Seasons, Zodiac, and Phases of the Moon When I first began to look into the debate of whether we as humanity live upon a spherical planet or a flat level plane, one of the first considerations which made me believe that there was something to this debate, was the question - if we are living upon a round globe like planet that rotates once every 24 hours as it orbits around the sun as center of the solar system as science asserts, would we not in six months be positioned on the other side of the sun in opposition to where we had been on earth six months prior?
And if so, would not night and day switch times of occurrence as consequence of the earth now being on the other side of the sun? Shouldn’t the orientation of night and day flip so that the 12 or so hours which had previously comprised night, reverse becoming the 12 hours or so of day? One would think that this would be the case if the earth really did rotate around the sun and in six months were positioned on the other side of it. Similarly, if the earth were orbiting around the sun, wouldn’t the periods associated to when night and day occur become distorted even daily but be especially noticeable after every three 203
months and ¼ of its revolution around the sun? And yet this does not line up with what we see as observable fact. All of us can attest to the bulk of the hours making up the occurrence of night and day, remaining predominantly the same time throughout the seasons. And that the time associated to their occurrence in any time zone upon the earth at any point of the year, never deviates beyond the addition or subtraction of 1 hour for daylight savings time twice a year. The fact that there is no measurable grand distortion to their fixed occurrence as night and day, beyond the addition or subtraction of 1 hour of daylight savings time in the spring and the fall, are absolute proof that we do not live on a ‘planet’ which revolves around the sun. In like manner if the earth were orbiting around the sun, it would be impossible to observe the zodiac from the earth at night in similar manner for long periods of time. And just as when night and day happen, should shift as the earth moves in orbit around the sun, so should the region of night sky which an observer is able to see shift, changing what constellations would be visible during night. This change would be especially noticeable after three, six, and nine month periods of the earth moving through a ¼ of its annual revolution around the sun especially if one compounds this movement with the scientific assertion that the sun is also similarly orbiting some unseen black hole at 155 miles/sec (250 km/sec) or 558,000 mph (900,000 kmph). If the sun were indeed moving in wide arc around some galactic center carrying with it the earth, would not the constellations which are observable at night vary greatly according to the orbital momentum of both entities, bringing to view a whole new assortment of stars while also 204
moving others out of view? The fact that the same constellations are visible year round and have been similarly for tens of thousands of years and longer, also negates the premise that we inhabit a planet which spins daily as it revolves annually around the sun. Consider also how the phases of the moon have remained constant for at least thousands, if not millions, billions of years. This would not be possible if it were orbiting around the earth as the earth orbited around the sun. The only reason it has maintained the same visible pattern of going through its phases monthly is because the earth is stationary, fixed, and immovable. Given the scientific assertion that the moon is alight because it reflects the sun’s rays, would not the pattern of its phases shift constantly as it orbited the earth, since its angle of ‘reflection’ would also change every month while the earth were orbiting the sun? And just as the stars which are visible at night and the occurrence of night and day should shift, the pattern and cycle for the phases of the moon should also shift, according to it and the earth’s orbital momentum. There would be no way that it could maintain a pattern of normal monthly transformation over the multiple thousands of years of recorded human history, if the earth were orbiting the sun. The fact that it has maintained its monthly cycle for tens of thousands of years is also confirmation that the earth does not orbit around the sun. For if it did it would be impossible to utilize the moon as harbinger for measuring of time especially in regard to God’s calendar since He bases the passing weeks, months, Sabbaths, feast days, and festivals according to its constant pattern of four quarterly phases. 205
206
Chapter 17 – The First Law of the Luminaries Enoch 71:2 This is the first law of the luminaries. The sun and the light arrive at the gates of heaven, which are on the east, and on the west of it at the western gates of heaven. Enoch 71:3 I beheld the gates whence the sun goes forth; and the gates where the sun sets; Night and day are defined by the extent of the sun’s field of illumination and point where shadow and light meet. Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so are the two great gates situated in similar manner on the east and west of heaven, representing the points where the sun and moon begin and end their daily journeys before shifting pattern in revolution or phase. They also demarcate the points where either complete ½ of their revolution around the North Pole as fixed center of the flat earth map when looking down upon it from above. I will explain Enoch’s description of their movement upon the backdrop of the earth as if it were a clocks face.
207
With this visualization in mind, the sun begins its clock wise circuit from the eastern gate at 3:00 o’clock and moving westward appears to rise as its luminosity overtakes an observer on the ground. Then over a period of 6 hours it moves in arc southwest towards 6:00 o’clock south. Then moving in arc northwest over the next 6 hours arrives at the western gate at 9:00 o’clock completing half of its revolution. Over the course of this 12 hour period, the southern portion of the flat earth spread from 3:00 o’clock east to 9:00 o’clock west, experiences day being covered in its field of illumination. Once the sun reaches the western gate at 9:00 o’clock, it begins to move in arc northeast over the next 6 hours until arriving at 12:00 o’clock north. It then moves in arc southeast over the next 6 hours reaching the eastern gate at 3:00 o’clock whereby completing its daily circuit. For the 12 hour duration of this period, the northern portion of the flat earth will experience day being covered in its field of illumination. As the sun moves that portion of the earth which is not bathed in its luminosity is overtaken by night. The description of the movement associated with the orbs of heavens throughout The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, can only be understood if one can visualize Enoch’s description of their movement as it relates to the circle of the earth situated in this manner with the North Pole as its exact center. The details of their movements cannot be understood if one tries to apply Enoch’s description of them to the model of the earth as a globe since the equatorial region where the sun shifts its movements through the gates of heaven, would be located on the sides of the globe (between the two Tropics) when one looks down upon it from the North Pole. 208
And besides as I’ve stated in a previous chapter, if the earth were orbiting around the sun, Enoch would have dedicated chapters to describing the motion of the earth according to that orientation and not the sun’s. There is not one chapter located in the Book of Enoch which in any way describes the motion of the earth, but there are many detailing the motion of the sun. This is because the earth is stationary, and it is the sun and moon which move above it. This is also the main reason why scholars over the last 500 years, have not been able to decrypt this portion of the text until now. Enoch 71:4 In which gates also the moon rises and sets; and I beheld the conductors of the stars, among those who precede them; six gates were at the rising, and six at the setting of the sun. Enoch 71:5 All these respectively, one after another, are on a level; and numerous windows are on the right and on the left sides of those gates.
209
The middle circle located at equidistant mean represents the equator and point where both the vernal and autumnal equinoxes occur when the sun is directly above it. It equally divides the two outer circles representing the two Tropics from one another. The smallest circle of the three nearest the center (North Pole) of the circular flat earth plane represents the Tropic of Cancer and point where summer solstice occurs when the sun reaches it. The largest circle of the three, furthest away from the polar center represents the Tropic of Capricorn and point where the winter solstice occurs when the sun reaches it. In order to visualize the six eastern and western gates of heaven as described by Enoch, all one must do is sub divide the area in between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn into 6 circular subsets, equally dividing the expanse which lies between these two points. When one divides this banded area into six equal quadrants, three gates above the equator and three gates below it, each sub divided area represents one of the six gates alluded to throughout this portion of the text. These 6 gates also correlate to the various months of the solar year, each representing a 30 day span, which as length is the amount of time required for the sun to ascend or descend through each of these gates. It takes the sun exactly six months for it to move from one Tropic to the other. Over the course of the year it will pass through each gate twice as it travels back and forth across this expanse. The six gates together regulate the course of the sun as it speeds up or slows down in motion. They also mark the differentiation of seasons for what we were taught as children as the northern and southern hemisphere, but 210
which really equate to the inner (northern latitudes) and outer (southern latitudes) portions of the flat earth as divided by equator. And yes I did say that the sun both speeds up and slows down in order to maintain the equilibrium of its revolution to one 24 hour period as both are synced precisely to the passing of one day. And because the sun shifts its revolution daily, it must also adjust its speed in accordance to the distance it must travel in order to complete one revolution around the North Pole. In order to illustrate this variability, I will cite as example the two times when the sun has the most noticeable differentiation to its rate of speed, the summer and winter solstice. When the sun is positioned directly above the Tropic of Cancer for summer solstice and longest day of the year, it assumes in terms of velocity its slowest annual rate of speed. This corresponds to its daily revolution being the tightest in regards to the distance it must travel in miles to complete a daily rotation during this time of year.
211
In like manner, when the sun is positioned directly above the Tropic of Capricorn for winter solstice and longest night of the year, it will assume its fastest annual velocity. This rate of speed corresponds to its revolution being widest in regards to the distance it must travel to complete a daily rotation during this time of year.
One should easily be able to see the difference in regards to the sizes of these two revolutions, and why the sun’s rate of speed would have to be adjusted in order to maintain regulation of them with one 24 hour period. That difference leads us to another topic of interest which is also related to this variability, called the Midnight Sun. And because this phenomenon can only be witnessed at extreme northern latitudes near the arctic, it is further verification that we live on a flat circular plane and not a round spherical planet as we were indoctrinated as children and led as adults to believe. 212
The Midnight Sun The Midnight Sun is an interesting phenomenon that corresponds to the difference in the size of the sun’s revolution during the summer solstice as opposed to any other time of year. It can be viewed from latitudes above the Arctic Circle on days immediately before and after summer solstice when the sun reaches its nearest point of approach to the North Pole. The longest day of the year, summer solstice marks the point where the sun reaches and is positioned directly above the Tropic of Cancer. An observer living at high northern latitudes during this time of the year, will witness the sun move in full revolution through western, northern, eastern, and then back towards southern skies without its ever having dipped below horizon. During this space of time, the sun maintains a trajectory which keeps it continuously visible throughout both day and night over the course of many days depending on where one resides in approximation to the North Pole. If one were positioned exactly at the North Pole during the course of this phenomenon, one would see the sun crossing the skies in what would appear to be perfectly straight line completely level across all skies. Its shift as it climbed to zenith on summer solstice would be so minute that it would be largely imperceptible. After reaching solstice it would then descend again in perfect line until reaching the mountains, disappear from view for months until returning again the following year. According to the Azimuthal equidistant projection map and Enoch’s description of the sun’s motion, the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun can only be witnessed at northern latitudes near summer solstice because it is during that time that the sun’s revolution is smallest in regards to circumference and tightest in regards 213
to distance which is reason why the phenomenon occurs in the first place.
Wikipedia asserts that a similar event takes place and can be seen during the winter solstice at extreme southern latitudes, but this assertion is only made because they assume we live on a globe and that what occurs during the summer solstice at northern latitudes should necessarily be replicated at southern latitudes during the winter solstice. Like most of the world, they support the misconception that we live on a ball earth. The weirdest thing about their assertion is that the Midnight Sun as phenomena should never be able to occur at all on a planetary sphere, since according to science it is the earth’s spinning on its axis once every 24 hour period as it orbits around the sun, which creates the change of night and day. Thus given the dynamics of the earth in its orientation to the sun, the Midnight Sun as possibility should be negated no matter where one were residing upon a ball earth, as it would be impossible to view the sun continuously above the horizon for days at a time according to this model. “The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the local summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the sun remains visible at the local midnight. 214
Around the summer solstice (approximately June 21 in the north and December 22 in the south) the sun is visible for the full 24 hours, given fair weather. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the farther towards either pole one goes. Although approximately defined by the polar circles, in practice the midnight sun can be seen as much as 90 km outside the polar circle, as described below, and the exact latitudes of the farthest reaches of midnight sun depend on topography and vary slightly year-to-year.” This declaration is candidly false as an observer living on a spherical planet could never be witness to the observations which are made directly by eyewitnesses during the occurrence of the Midnight Sun especially when one considers the inclination and so-called wobble of the earth. Their assertion that the same phenomenon can be witness from southern latitudes during winter solstice is also candidly false. The depictions of the sun’s revolution during the summer and winter solstice, show why Wikipedia is wrong in their assertions about this phenomenon. The Midnight Sun can only occur near summer solstice when the sun’s revolution is smallest and tightest as circle around the North Pole which is what makes it possible during this time. Its revolution during winter solstice is in no way similar to the circuit it travels for summer solstice, but is in fact much larger than at any other time of the year. In order to cover this great a distance, it must consequentially move at its fastest rate of speed in order to equalize such distance with a 24 hour day. This difference 215
negates the possibility that any similar phenomena occurs at extreme southern latitudes even during the winter solstice.
But just to explain this with a little more depth, if one looks at the circumference of the sun’s revolution during the summer solstice (inner circle) in comparison to the winter solstice (outer circle) on the flat earth map, one should recognize immediately that proportionally the sun has a much greater distance to travel in regards to its revolution during the winter solstice than it does during the summer solstice. This difference also results in the arctic receiving much more sunlight during the periods leading up to and following the Midnight Sun due to the sun’s compact revolution. As result, the sun lingers over the arctic during these times whereupon this region receives a tremendous amount of direct sunlight for long periods of time, which in turn quickly stimulates growth transforming tundra ice into gushing rivers, exposing large swaths of land. This provides a foothold for a wide variety of grasses, shrubs, flowers, trees, mosses, lichens, mushrooms, and other plant varieties which in turn supports the seasonal births of a great number and variety of creatures. The abundance of food during this time enables everything to thrive in preparation for the upcoming winter. This in turn 216
has supported permanent human settlements of Inuit-Yupik native peoples in this region for thousands of years. There is no similar season of such drastic transformation associated to summer months at extreme southern latitudes even near the winter solstice as the behavior of the sun is completely different during these times. And whereas the sun lingers above the arctic region during the summer solstice, it quickly rushes across southern latitudes near the winter solstice even though this is for them the height of summer. This discrepancy results in great disparity between these two regions. If one researches the differences between the extreme northern and extreme southern latitudes in regards to the characteristics of the arctic and Antarctic regions during their summer months, one will find little similarity in the topography, temperature, or the kind of life that each region supports. And unlike the Inuit-Yupik peoples of the arctic region, there are no native populations of peoples living permanently in the Antarctic region. The only semipermanent residents of Antarctica are the various researchers of the many nations stationed there to study it. “Plant life in the Arctic is characterized largely by what grows on the tundra, a vast low growing treeless area of approx. 11.5M km2 that is mainly underlain by permafrost. There are low shrubs (as tall as 2m (7 feet) in rare places) sedges, grasses, mosses and liverworts as well as an extensive variety of alpine type flowering plants and many lichens. There are about 1,700 species of plants that live on the tundra in all. The tundra can support many larger herbivores including reindeer, musk ox, lemmings, arctic hares and squirrels. To the southern edge of the arctic, the 217
tundra can have plant cover of 80-100%, further north, plant coverage can be 0% or just a few hardy alpines in sheltered microclimates. Plant life in the Antarctic on the other hand is much less plentiful. Only about 1% of the continent is ice free, this is located mainly along the Antarctic Peninsula and on islands, there are some exposed rocks inland however known as nunataks where the hardiest of plants can gain a foothold. There are just two species of higher plants, a grass and a small flowering alpine, around 100 species of moss, 300400 species of lichens and 25 species of liverworts. In very extreme conditions, algae and lichens live in tiny pore spaces inside rocks. There are many indigenous peoples who live around the Arctic. There are representatives of many different groups such as the Inuit, Chukchi, Sami, Yupik, Inupiat and others. The presence of humans is one of the biggest differences between the two poles. Typically the people who live in the far north are nomadic and are hunter/gatherers with the emphasis on hunting rather than gathering, though the Sami people of Scandinavia amongst others are reindeer herders. The presence of people in the arctic due to overland access from the south has influenced the region enormously and it has been inhabited for several thousand years. There are many villages, towns and cities dotted around the Arctic the largest being Murmansk with 325,100 inhabitants the rest of the top 5 largest being 135,000, 85,000, 62,000 and 58,000. 218
Arctic Permanent population - 4 million Antarctica has never had any native people living there. No one set eyes on Antarctica until 1820 (not true according to the Piri Reis map), the first human foot stepped ashore a year or two later and it was 1898 before people stayed ashore for a whole year. Other than temporary sealing and whaling stations in the early days, Antarctica has only ever been habited by scientific stations and their personnel who only stay for a year or two. There are still no real native Antarcticans who were born there and have always lived there and always will. The largest habitation is the American base at McMurdo with 1,000 people in the summer, though only 250 in the winter. Over the whole of Antarctica there are around 4-5,000 summer visitors at scientific stations with about 1,000 of them remaining for the winter. They are greatly outnumbered by ships which bring 30-40,000 tourists each summer for typically 10-14 days each, though tourists are not there at all in the winter.
Antarctica permanent population - 0, Seasonal: Summer - up to 45,000 Winter 1,000 As an indication, the temperature at the north pole in the winter (January) varies from about -43°C to 26°C (-45°F to -15°F), while the south pole in winter will be between about -62°C to -55°C (-80°F to 67°F). The highest temperature recorded at the north pole is +5°C (+41°F) while at the south pole it is 219
13.5°C ( +7.7°F). The coldest temperature ever recorded on earth was -89.2°C (-128.6°F) on July 21st 1983 at the Russian base at the Southern Geomagnetic Pole in Antarctica.” – Cool Antarctica, Arctic and Antarctic - a Comparison, Similarities and Differences If we were truly living upon a globular shaped planet would not each polar region share exposure to comparable amounts of sunshine during their summer months? And shouldn’t this result in what one would think of as somewhat reciprocal conditions in regards to temperature, land, creatures, topography, and inhabitants? And yet this is not the case. The extreme variations do not make sense unless one considers the possibility that the shape of the earth is indeed a flat circular plane as described by both Isaiah and Enoch and that the amount of sunshine each receives during its summer months are completely different because of the rate of speed that the sun holds during those periods near the summer and winter solstice. This differentiation in my opinion only further confirms that the earth we live on is a flat plane and not a spherical planet.

Chapter 18 - In Regard to the Heavenly Luminaries Maintaining Course Enoch cites that the angel Uriel had been tasked with overseeing the courses of the heavenly luminaries, but implies that the sun, moon, planets, and stars hold consciousness which enables them free will choice to maintain or deviate from their assigned circuits. And though they are each charged with maintaining course which aligns to the unfolding of time in regards to the days, weeks, months, seasons, and years as predicated by the Most High God, there have been certain occasions where their circuits had or will be altered. For instance, the New Testament describes at the end of days, a time when stars will be cast down from heaven to the earth as the sixth seal is broken bringing forth the wrath of God to be poured out upon those not written into the books of life. Enoch too mentions this same event describing a time when the stars of heaven would deviate from their ascribed courses. You see the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return. In the days of sinners the years shall be shortened. Their seed shall be backward in their prolific soil; and everything done on earth shall be subverted, and disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still. In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withholden. 221
The moon shall change its laws, and not be seen at its proper period. But in those days shall heaven be seen; and barrenness shall take place in the borders of the great chariots in the west. Heaven shall shine more than when illuminated by the orders of light; while many chiefs among the stars of authority shall err, perverting their ways and works. Those shall not appear in their season, who commanded them, and all the classes of the stars shall be shut up against sinners. – The Book of Enoch 79:2-7 [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; [13] And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. [14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. – Revelation 6:12-14 Enoch also describes a time in the ancient past when some of the stars of heaven broke their mandate to come forth at certain time and because of this transgression, some of them were to be bound for a period surpassing 10,000 years, dating this occurrence to a time before the modern creation of humanity. Because of this, I have wondered whether this event was in any way linked to the war in heaven and fall of Lucifer and the rebel angels, as they are cited as being cast out of the heavens during the prior times before the creation of Adam. And if so, does the Revelation 6 reference also connect to a time when other fallen angels are to be released as part of the judgment against the wicked during the end of days, such as the four angels from the river Euphrates? 222
Then the angel said, This place, until the consummation of heaven and earth, will be the prison of the stars, and the host of heaven. The stars which roll over fire are those which transgressed the commandment of God before their time arrived; for they came not in their proper season. Therefore was He offended with them, and bound them, until the period of the consummation of their crimes in the secret year. – The Book of Enoch 18:15-16, Richard Laurence Translation 1883 14 The angel said: 'This place is the end of heaven and earth: this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven. 15 And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the commandment of YHWH in the beginning of their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times. 16 And He was wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should be consummated (even) for ten thousand years.' – The Book of Enoch 18:14-16, R. H. Charles Translation 1917 The point is that the stars of heaven and all of the heavenly luminaries hold consciousness which allows them to maintain trajectory with their assigned circuit. Even the sun must continuously adjusts its velocity in order to maintain the correct speed necessary to equalize a full rotation around the North Pole to the passing of a 24 hour period. The fact that the sun does this is in my opinion validation that either it is intelligent in some way or that it is being directed by intelligence. Either way each to me signifies intelligent design and the presence of a Creator. 223
If one really takes a few minutes to ponder over the thought of the sun having maintained equanimity between its daily revolution and the passing of a 24 hour period, over the full age of creation, such sustainability as accomplishment is truly an astounding feat which brings me to the reason why I wrote this chapter in the first place – the account of the sun and moon standing still during Joshua’s time. Those that are familiar with the Biblical account know of what I am alluding to, for those not familiar with scripture let me elaborate, as this story is of itself a truly fascinating tale, but specifically significant to the premise of this chapter. Shortly after the Israelites were led by Moses out of the bondage of Egypt and their 40 years of wandering the wilderness had come to an end, Joshua was appointed by Moses to take over leadership of the Israelite people. They were on the outskirts of the land which the Most High had promised to give to the descendants of Abraham through the children of Isaac and Jacob since they are counted with the seed of promise and Ishmael, Esau, and their children are considered as the seed of the serpent and children of perdition. Before Moses passed away the Israelites had sent spies in to scope out the land and see what kind of people currently inhabited the land. Upon discovering that the sons of Anak dwelt there, which as a people were linked to the giant Og which Noah had spared from the flood, the Israelites became so frightened they did not want to embark upon war with these giants. Only Joshua and Caleb stood up to rally the Hebrews but even then they were hesitant. Only after Moses explained to them that the Most High had promised this land as an inheritance to them as the children of Abraham, and that just as He had freed them from the 224
bondage of Egypt and oppression of pharaoh, that He would comparably fight with them using supernatural means to overthrow these giants even though they seem to be an unbeatable force, thus were the Israelites inspired to battle against them. “Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 29 The Amal'ekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jeb'usites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan. 30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. – Numbers 13:28-33 Moses’ words inspired enough courage within them for them to find the necessary morale they would need to confront the sons of Anak, which as children of the fallen angels towered over them making them feel as if they were grasshoppers in their sight. This land had long ago been usurped from the children of Shem by Canaan, the fourth 225
born son of his step-brother Ham. Being their rightful inheritance, they were now as a people ready to go out and fight for it. And again, after the Flood, the Devil, our Enemy, did not cease from his hostility against the children of Noah, but stirred up Canaan, the son of Ham, and he became the violent tyrant (or usurper) who rent the kingdom from the children of Shem. Now they had divided the earth among them, and Noah had made them swear by the Name of his God that they would not encroach on each other's boundaries. - Kebra Nagast 4 Post flood the reemergence of the giants is attributed to Og of Bashan, whom as the last remnant giant, became involved with the local Canaanite women, from among the children of Ham. Whether he ever took to wife one or many wives as spouse from among these peoples remains uncertainty, however we can speculate that he had to have fathered many of them directly since scripture accounts him as the only giant to have survived the flood. Therefore he had to of been the progenitor which propagated the sons of Anak, into the world once more. And Og came, who had been spared from the giants that died in the deluge, and had ridden protected upon the top of the ark, and sustained with food by Noah; not being spared through high righteousness, but that the inhabitants of the world might see the power of the Lord, and say, Were there not giants who in the first times rebelled against the Lord of the world, and perished from the earth? – Targum of Jonathan, Genesis 14 226
[11] For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. – Deuteronomy 3:11 For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation. - Wisdom of Solomon 14:6 By the time that Joshua and the Israelites were to enter into the land of Canaan, there were already many giants living within and around the land. Og, had become the king of over 60 strongly walled highly fortified cities spread throughout the Middle Eastern basin known as Bashan. Because of their size, stature, and ferocity these giants came to be very much feared by the people under their domination. Considered to be unstoppable, it was easy for them to spread their reign of terror, from there to other parts of the then known world. 1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, 2 a people great and tall, the children of the An'akim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak! 3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy 227
them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee. Deuteronomy 9:1-3 The Canaanite and other peoples assimilated under the rulership of Og were led by him and the other Canaanite Kings, into strange worship which involved them in the practice of cannibalism, the drinking of human blood, and offering of children and victims in sacrifice. Their religions were based upon reverence of the ancient gods and goddesses which as pantheon represented their angelic parents. And because they were involved in so many detestable practices, YHWH instructed Joshua and the Israelites when going to war against them to not spare one man, woman, child, or even the creatures which lived among them for He knew that if they did, like leaven they would spoil the Israelites as a people leading them to involvement in strange worship and reverence of idol gods. It was during one of these early conflicts that the Most High gave Joshua the authority to stop the sun and moon in their coursing. He did this in order to elongate the day allowing the Israelites to finish their slaughter of the army of giant warriors which had assembled against them and which had for very longtime terrorized the people living in those areas. The defeat of these giants would not only set the way for the fulfillment of the covenant that He had made with Abraham, it would also establish YHWH’s dominance over the many idol gods worshipped by the peoples of that region. The once proud giants regarded as the most fierce some and formidable enemy to be alive during that time upon the earth, whom no other peoples were even willing to engage in combat with, found themselves running from a small band of Israelites whom just a short time previously had been the slaves of the mighty Egyptian empire. 228
[11] And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. [12] Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. [13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. [14] And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel. – Joshua 10:11-14 And so the point of this whole chapter is, why would the Creator give Joshua the authority to stop the sun and moon while in mid revolution rather than the earth and moon? What would be the point of asking the sun and moon to remain still, if it’s the earth moving around the sun which causes it to set? Wouldn’t it make much more sense for the Most High to give Joshua the power to order the earth and moon stand still rather than the sun and moon, since it would be the earth not spinning which would prevent the sun from going down as science asserts. But this is not the case, Joshua ordered the sun and moon to stand still and not the earth and moon. If the earth were truly moving around sun there would be no reason to order 229
the sun to stand still because according to the model of the solar system, there would be no noticeable difference to the sun remaining motionless. This is another confirming witness from the Biblical scriptures avowing to the motion of the sun and moon above the immovable circular plane of the earth as referenced in Psalm 19. I believe this to be a very important point of distinction and one that readers should scrutinize carefully as it affirms why Enoch dedicates so many chapters to describing the motion of the sun and moon and zero to the motion of the earth. Also notice that when the sun and moon were stopped in mid revolution and remained motionless in the heavens, that there were no major or even minor repercussions connected to their having done so. There were no mentions of any major consequences to the earth, no catastrophic earthquakes, pole shifts, tsunamis, lightning activity, or massive storms of any sort. Nothing other than the day was elongated for the time that the sun and moon remained still in the heavens. Before leaving this topic, I would like to mention one more story which when looked into does not make sense when applied to the heliocentric model for world view. It has to do with a time when King Hezekiah was certain that he was about to die. And not wanting to succumb to death, he makes a last minute appeal to the Most High begging Him for forgiveness. Deciding to give him a 15 year reprieve from death, the Most High sends to him Isaiah to inform him that he would indeed be forgiven and that a sign would accompany that forgiveness. This is where the story gets interesting, because the sign that Hezekiah was given is the sun moving back 10° on the sun dial of Ahaz. 230
[1] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. [2] Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, [3] And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. [4] Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, [5] Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. [6] And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. [7] And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; [8] Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. – Isaiah 38:1-8 [1] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. [2] Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, [3] I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. [4] And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD 231
came to him, saying, [5] Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. [6] And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. [7] And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. [8] And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? [9] And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forth ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? [10] And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. [11] And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. – 2 Kings 20:1-10 In a heliocentric model, the only way the sun could go back 10° on a sundial is if the earth stopped spinning, reversed course spun in the opposite direction, and then being stopped again resumed spinning again in its normal counterclockwise rotation in the direction it had been prior to this sign being given. Can you imagine the kind of repercussions such unfolding would have for not only the earth but the people living in every region upon the earth? 232
Just in the earth stopping its axial spin, there should be major catastrophic consequences, in the least mass tidal waves, devastating tsunamis, monstrous flooding, and possible seismic activity in the form of colossal earthquakes. The same would occur with its resuming orbit around the sun, but no such consequences are mentioned and no destructive impact took place. In fact things unfolded as they always had as if nothing significant had ever happened. The only way this could be possible is if like in the case of Joshua, the Most High made the sun stand still, reverse course 10° in its revolution, and then allowed it to continue in its normal circuit. And similar to the story with Joshua, there were no massive repercussions to the earth or endangering consequences which affected any humans negatively. Both of these stories validate that it is the sun which moves above the earth, and not the earth which revolves around the sun.

Chapter 19 – Is the Flat Earth Occult Knowledge?
Enoch 71:6 First proceeds forth that great luminary, which is called the sun; the orb of which is as the orb of heaven, the whole of it being replete with splendid and flaming fire. Enoch 71:7 Its chariot, where it ascends, the wind blows. Night, day, sunrise, and sunset, are all designations defined by the broad reach of the sun’s luminescence. The termination point where shadow and light meet divides night from day. The sun rises or sets where it enters or leaves our line of sight. The portion of the earth within its field of illumination experiences day while the rest of the earth is enveloped by night. It takes the sun 24 hours to complete one revolution around the polar north. This 24 hour period equals one day. Seven days equal one week. 4 weeks plus new moon day and lunar conjunction equal one month on God’s calendar. Months on the Gregorian calendar vary between 28 and 31 days. 12 months equal a 235
year. The sun’s light has the characteristic of heat associated to it. This is why one can use a magnifying glass to focalize its rays and create fire. While traveling in circuit, it projects heat down upon the earth’s land, oceans, seas, and rivers causing variations of temperature and shifting winds. The heat from its rays also causes temperature fluctuation which stirs up evaporation and condensation inducing cloud formation, storm production, and rain showers. Enoch 71:8 The sun sets in heaven, and, returning by the north, to proceed towards the east, is conducted so as to enter by that gate, and illuminate the face of heaven. It was the context of this verse which did not initially make sense to me during my previous studies of The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries. No matter how many times I had read this passage and portion of the text previously, I just could not make sense of it until a few weeks ago when I was led by the Most High to the revelation of the flat earth as concept for understanding the dynamics of world. This discernment was indispensable to unlocking this passage and as consequence, the rest of The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries. Applying this world view to Enoch’s account of the sun moving from east to west and then north to east in circle, was the skeleton key which unlocked this passage and opened up the rest to my newly discovered insight. I also knew immediately that they were most likely few that understood this information and that even if there were others out there that could make sense of this portion of the text, there couldn’t be many as it goes against what 97% 236
(guesstimate its probably more like 99%) of the world believes. This portion of the text on the dynamics of world and its interactions with the sun and moon can never be conceived by those who believe, as I once had, that we as people live on a spherical planet. Words fail to convey the kind of excitement that flooded me in those particular moments. I was enthralled and sure that with study, the rest of The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries would open up to me in way that was just not possible some weeks prior. Offering up a prayer of thanksgiving to the Most High, I knew then that I would temporarily delay work on two of my other nearly done writing projects, to begin work on this book since I felt it critical revelation that must be shared since so many others were also being similarly led to interest in the flat earth as area of research. And even though there have been dozens if not hundreds of books written on the flat earth over the centuries, I knew by a search on Amazon that none had been written narrowly focused on The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries. The book I would write on this topic would share as revelation proof that Enoch had thousands of years prior to humanity’s embrace of a heliocentric world view, encoded within it validation that the earth was flat, and perhaps encourage those whom have never studied such books to reconsider whether Biblically orientated texts such as the Book of Enoch, held any relevance to the study of other topics. I know without a doubt that it is only with this discernment that one can grasp as explanation what the angel Uriel shares with Enoch as vision for world. It will be this secret that I endeavor to reveal to the reader over the course of this book. 237
And while the connection of the Book of Enoch to the flat earth might be new to reader, it is my opinion that this knowledge has long been known and subtlety flaunted as occult secret by the world elite. Two things come to mind that immediately stand out as confirmation of this statement: 1) on December 7th, 1946 the newly created United Nations, seat of the One World Order, released as insignia on the flag of its charter: “A map of the world representing an azimuthal equidistant projection centered on the North Pole, inscribed in a wreath consisting of crossed conventionalized branches of the olive tree... The projection of the map extends to 60 degrees south latitude, and includes five concentric circles.” Official Seal and Emblem of the United Nations, Report of the Secretary-General, October 15th, 1946 2) That the largest and wealthiest industrialized countries of the world have all agreed to the terms of the Antarctic treaty, preserving it as continent for research purposes only, prohibiting large corporate and privately funded enterprise from investigation or exploitation of territory which Admiral Byrd expressed in rare television interview, as being so richly laden with abundance of natural resources in myriad form, it could resolve all the world’s ills. Why would huge conglomerates of multinational companies, the kinds which historically have utilized their wealth to overcome any political mandate which portends negating access to billions if not trillions of dollars of profit, not object in any way to terms which forbid them exploitation of such a treasure trove of untapped riches especially considering that as the only remaining continent 238
and region of world left on earth yet unexplored, it does not have living on it any people or creatures which could be used as justification for political or environment protest or objection against such exploitation? Why has not a single corporation or country voiced its dissent against the Antarctic treaty and why would they not seek out loophole as they always do, which would allow them to secure access? If news were to reach the market concerning a particular corporation securing even minute access, their stock price would skyrocket and yet there have been no such reports of any attempts having taken place since inception of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959. And so the question arises, why would the United Nations depict on their banner an emblem which portrays the continents of the earth situated in circle on a flat plane? One has to also consider that it is not just on their main flag that they do this, but on many flags of those international organizations which they founded as governing body for the affairs of nations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Maritime Organization, the World Health Organization, and the World Meteorological Organization to name a few.
239
Why wouldn’t the pilots and ships captains which joined the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Maritime Organization not object to such depiction given their belief that the earth is a globe? It just doesn’t make sense unless one is able to grasp what the founding of the United Nations and these other groups was truly about since they were conceived as control mechanism well in advance of their actual establishment. In fact, Albert Pike, a confederate civil war general and sovereign grand master of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, in a letter that he sent to Giuseppe Mazzinni, the head of the Italian mafia in Europe, dated August 15th, 1871, mentions within it a vision he had received which necessitated need to create an organization like the United Nations in order to achieve world domination. In this letter Pike outlines this vision describing as plan the three world wars they would need to instigate as pretext for the establishment of a ‘One World Order.’ "The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions." "The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign 240
state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm." "The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the 241
destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." One can recognize by the above excerpted passages just how closely history has aligned with the precepts of his vision, as well as how much power these occult organizations must have held then and hold now in order to implement, carry out, and continue such a sinister proposal. And even though their first attempt at establishing this governing body called the League of Nations failed following World War I because most countries were unwilling to join an international organization which could trump their national sovereignty; the horror and devastation of World War II was catalyst enough to convince them to accept the mandate of just such an organization as the world had been primed to prioritize the prevention of future wars by maintaining peaceful relations among the commonwealth of nations. And so on the 24th day of October, 1945, the United Nations was established to be the seat of this One World Order. 2015 now 70 years later, the United Nations though riddled with scandal has endured long enough to garner worldwide recognition as the go to organization for international affairs. And though it is not deserving of such recognition, the world community has bought into the hype promoted around its founding, wanting to believe in the idealistic vision of united peace said to be reason for its grand conception. In truth its creation had nothing ever to do with world peace, but the wielding of power and control of it. Manipulating United Nations leadership and goals as organization, the Illuminists have been able to thwart, guide, and direct world events under the guise of UN directive and nongovernmental organization. 242
And so it is my belief that the construction and flying of these flags with true portrayal of the orientation of the earth, over those organizations which represent the attainment of their long-term goals, has to do with conquest and disclosure. Just as a newly formed countries and governments raise new flag over its administrative seat of power, or just as a victor replaces the banner of a vanquished foe with one of their own during wartime conquest, so is depicting the earth situated in this manner on UN banner, way for Illuminist leaders to impart to members affiliated with their clandestine groups worldwide, they have succeeded in realizing the vision that Pike outlined in his letter so long ago and that the groups flying their flags are under the complete control of ‘global’ freemasonry. These flags are like masonic handshakes divulging slyly the allegiance of its members while in attendance of and intermingling with huge gatherings of prominent individuals. Only those knowledgeable of certain handshakes understand what a certain grasp means. The Masonic handshakes not only communicate who in attendance are affiliated with these secretive types of organizations but it also divulges their ranks. And so it is my opinion that the transnational elites especially the royal families sitting on the thrones of the world today, do understand that as humanity we live upon a flat level plane and not a ball like planet. I believe another reason that they keep this information occult knowledge has to do with their worship of Lucifer as light bearer and sun-god. This would also explain their determination to maintain world belief in a ‘solar system’ which cites as its foremost entity, the sun diminishing the earth as focal point of manifest creation to being just one of 243
many planets which are held in subjective orbit to it. It also demotes the earth from being place of miracle habitation for humanity and its creatures, to one which harbors life not because of Godly design but as result of random circumstance. Science proposes that there is nothing unique to the existence of life here on earth but that it can be found scattered throughout the universe on an infinite number of equivalently aligned spherical planets which also orbiting equally similar star systems makes possible the ‘evolution’ of life analogous to what they claim happened here. And while I do not negate the possibility of there being life in other forms spread throughout the universe, I do assert that there is zero chance of it having occurred randomly and that if there is life out there similar to what is found here upon the earth it also came about as a result of intelligent design.

Chapter 20 - The Great Luminary and Gates of Heaven Over the course of the next few chapters, I will decrypt Enoch’s description of the sun’s ascending and descending motion through the six gates of heaven. In order to grasp this decipherment, one must be able to visualize and understand how those gates are laid out by Uriel’s explanation of them. To do this one must picture looking down upon an azimuthal equidistant projection map just like the one depicted on the United Nations flag, with three concentric circles demarcated on it for the Tropic of Cancer, equator, and Tropic of Capricorn. The equator will be the circle in the middle of the other two dividing the expanse between the two Tropics exactly in half.
245
One must then further divide these three concentric circles into six smaller circular subsets, three below the equator between it and the Tropic of Capricorn, and three above the equator between it and the Tropic of Cancer. The first three gates of heaven (1-3) correspond to the three divisions which lie between the Tropic of Capricorn and the equator. The second three gates of heaven (4-6) correspond to the three divisions which lie between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer. Each of the 6 smaller gates equate to a 30 day period, which as duration is the amount of time that it takes the sun to pass from one gate into the other as it gradually ascends towards the Tropic of Cancer or descends towards the Tropic of Capricorn. Thus, it takes the sun six full months or half a year to travel from one Tropic to the other. Its movement through these gates is parabolic, reaching apex directly above the Tropic of Cancer on summer solstice and declination directly above the Tropic of Capricorn on winter solstice. In addition to the 30 days it takes the sun to travel through each one of the six gates sub dividing the great gate, one must also add a day to the 30 whenever the sun reaches the Tropics for solstice or the equator for equinox. This means there will be four instances during the course of the year which will require the addition of a day as it will take the sun this additional 24 hours to either cross the equator, or reaching either Tropic to reverse course and begin moving in the opposing direction.
246
In addition to understanding the suns movement through the six gates of heaven, one must also comprehend the math that Enoch utilizes for the tally of day and night. For each one of the 30 day periods that it takes the sun to travel through one of the six gates of heaven, Enoch uses what amounts to 18 equal segments for the apportioning of day and night while moving through any one of these gates. For instance, when the sun is directly above the equator on the vernal equinox, the length of day and night both equal nine portions each corresponding to the division of day and night as 12 hours each. Dividing one 1 day as 24 hour period by these 18 proportional segments results in the number 1.3333333 hours with the three being extended to infinity. When using this number in the formula below I will calculate it as 1.3 to the 7th number since 7 is considered God’s number but in truth the three goes on forever.
247
The Length of Day and Night for Each of the Six Gates of Heaven Multiplying the number 1.3333333 by the two which Enoch uses as measure for the length of both day and night according to the six pairs of numbers associated to each of the gates of heaven, will provide one with the exact measure of day and night for all six gates. Let’s look again at the day of the vernal equinox, the nine units of measure corresponding to the length of day and night equal to 9 x 1.3333333 = 11.9999999 hours according to Enoch’s math which rounded up equal 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. The list below will show how the hours of night and day add up for each of the six gates of heaven beginning with sun positioned on the first gate above the Tropic of Capricorn. 1st Gate Tropic of Capricorn - it takes the sun 30 days to ascend up to the second gate from the first gate and 31 days to descend down to the Tropic of Capricorn from the second gate. The day that the sun is positioned above the Tropic of Capricorn, marks the winter solstice as the longest night and shortest day of the year for northern latitudes. Enoch breaks down the measure of this 24 hour period into 6 units 248
for day and 12 units for night equal = 7.99999999 hours of day and 15.99999999 hours of night. 2nd Gate - it takes the sun 30 days to ascend up to the third gate from the second gate and 30 days to descend down to the first gate from the second gate. Enoch breaks down the measure of this 24 hour period into 7 units for day and 11 units for night = 9.3333333 hours of day and 14.6666666 hours of night. 3rd Gate - it takes the sun 31 days to ascend up to the equator from the third gate and 30 days to descend down to the second gate from the third gate. Enoch breaks down the measure of this 24 hour period into 8 units for day and 10 units for night = 10.6666666 hours of day and 13.3333333 hours of night. The equator lies exactly between the 3rd and 4th Gate and represents the vernal and autumnal equinox which as 24 hour period divides the day and night into equal 12 hour durations. Enoch breaks down the measure of this 24 hour period into 9 units for day and 9 for night = 9 x 1.3333333 = 11.9999999 4th Gate - it takes the sun 30 days to ascend up to the fifth gate from the fourth gate and 31 days to descend down from the fifth gate to the equator. Enoch breaks down the measure of this 24 hour period into 10 units for day and 8 units for night = 13.3333333 hours of day and 10.6666666 hours of night. 5th Gate - it takes the sun 30 days to ascend up to the sixth gate from the fifth gate and 30 days to descend down from the fifth gate to the fourth gate. Enoch breaks down the 249
measure of this 24 hour period into 11 units for day and 7 units for night = 14.6666666 hours of day and 9.3333333 hours of night. 6th Gate - it takes the sun 31 days to ascend up to the Tropic of Cancer from the fifth gate and 30 days to descend down from the sixth gate to the fifth gate. The day that the sun is positioned above the Tropic of Cancer, marks the summer solstice as the longest day and shortest night of the year for northern latitudes. This gate marks the longest day of the year and shortest night. 12 units for day and 6 units for night = 15.9999999 hours of day and 7.9999999 hours of night. This list details the length of day and night which corresponds to each gate as well as how the sun moves through them as described by Enoch in the following chapters. Enoch 71:9 In the same manner it goes forth in the first month by the great gate. Enoch 71:10 It goes forth through the fourth of those six gates, which are at the rising of the sun. The two great gates are the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn which as points of reference guide and limit the sun’s revolution throughout the year. Enoch begins his account of the sun’s journey through the six gates of heaven, when positioned directly above the equator, exactly between the third and the fourth gate on the day of the vernal equinox. It is also on this day that God marks the beginning of the season of spring on the ancient Hebrew calendar. This is why I explained this calendar system before getting into the explanation of Enoch’s vision and so 250
if you did not read the chapters on God’s calendar, please do so before continuing. Enoch 71:11 And in the fourth gate, through which the sun with the moon proceeds, in the first part of it, there are twelve open windows; from which issues out a flame, when they are opened in their proper periods. Enoch 71:12 When the sun rises in heaven, it goes forth through this fourth gate thirty days, and by the fourth gate in the west of heaven on a level with it descends. Enoch 71:13 During that period the day is lengthened from the day, and the night curtailed from the night for thirty days. And then the day is longer by two parts than the night. Enoch 71:14 The day is precisely ten parts, and the night is eight. Positioned directly above the equator, the fourth gate is the 1st of the 3 gates which subdivides the area between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer, marking the first 30 days which follow the vernal equinox before the sun reaches the fifth gate. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 10 units for day and 8 units for night = 13.3333333 hours of day and 10.6666666 hours of night. As the first month of spring, this 30 day period represents the days of approximately March 21st – April 19th. I say approximately because these days vary yearly according to the Gregorian calendar which most of the world now uses. 251
From the first day that the sun enters the fourth gate following the vernal equinox until reaching the Tropic of Cancer, it will shorten its revolution and slow its daily rate of speed. This increases the length of day fractionally while also shortening the length of night. It will continue in this pattern as it traverses through the fourth, fifth, and sixth gates until reaching the Tropic of Cancer, reverses course and begins movement back towards the equator. Enoch 71:15 The sun goes forth through this fourth gate, and sets in it, and turns to the fifth gate during thirty days; after which it proceeds from, and sets in, the fifth gate. Enoch 71:16 Then the day becomes lengthened by a second portion, so that it is eleven parts: while the night becomes shortened, and is only seven parts. The fifth gate represents the second month of spring and 30 day period before the sun reaches the sixth gate. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 11 units for day and 7 units for night = 14.6666666 hours of day and 9.3333333 hours of night. This 30 day period represents the days of approximately, April 20th – May 19th. Enoch 71:17 The sun now returns to the east, entering into the sixth gate, and rising and setting in the sixth gate thirty-one days, on account of its signs. Enoch 71:18 At that period the day is longer than the night, being twice as long as the night; and become twelve parts;
252
Enoch 71:19 But the night is shortened, and becomes six parts. Then the sun rises up, that the day may be shortened, and the night lengthened. The sixth gate represents the last month of spring and 31 day period before the sun reaches apex at the Tropic of Cancer, marking summer solstice as longest day and shortest night of the year. Summer solstice also designates the beginning of summer on God’s calendar and is associated to the phenomenon of the midnight sun detailed in previous chapter. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 12 units for day and 6 units for night = 15.9999999 hours of day and 7.9999999 hours of night. This 31 day period represents approximately the days May 21st - June 21st.
Enoch 71:20 And the sun returns toward the east entering into the sixth gate, where it rises and sets for thirty days. Enoch 71:21 When that period is completed, the day becomes shortened precisely one part, so that it is eleven parts, while the night is seven parts.
253
Following the summer solstice, this 30 day period marks the first month of summer and point where the sun reverses course and begins its descent back down through the sixth gate until reaching the fifth gate again. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 11 units for day and 7 units for night = 14.6666666 hours of day and 9.3333333 hours of night. This 30 day period represents approximately the days June 22nd – July 21st. Enoch 71:22 Then the sun goes from the west, from that sixth gate, and proceeds eastwards, rising in the fifth gate for thirty days, and setting again westwards in the fifth gate of the west. Enoch 71:23 At that period the day becomes shortened two parts; and is ten parts, while the night is eight parts. The second month of summer, the sun will descend for 30 days through the fifth gate until it reaches the fourth gate. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 10 units for day and 8 units for night = 13.3333333 hours of day and 10.6666666 hours of night. This 30 day period represents approximately the days July 22nd – August 21st. Enoch 71:24 Then the sun goes from the fifth gate, as it sets in the fifth gate of the west; and rises in the fourth gate for thirty-one days, on account of its signs, setting in the west. Enoch 71:25 At that period the day is made equal with the night; and, being equal with it, the night becomes nine parts, and the day nine parts. 254
The third and final month of summer, for this 31 day period the sun descends through the fourth gate until returning to the equator for autumnal equinox where Enoch began his account of the sun’s motion. It will spend this additional day 24 hours crossing the equatorial divide before reaching the third gate. Just like the vernal equinox, the autumnal equinox divides night and day into equal portion marking the beginning of fall on God’s calendar. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 9 units for day and 9 for night = 9 x 1.3333333 = 11.9999999. This 31 day duration represents approximately the days August 22nd - September 21st.
Enoch 71:26 Then the sun goes from that gate, as it sets in the west; and returning to the east proceeds by the third gate for thirty days, setting in the west at the third gate. Enoch 71:27 At that period the night is lengthened from the day during thirty mornings, and the day is curtailed from the day during thirty days; the night being ten parts precisely, and the day eight parts. This 30 day period marks the first month and beginning of fall which appropriately describes the movement of the sun away from its summer solstice heights, and crossing below 255
the equator distinguishes the season where night takes precedence accounting for a larger portion of the 24 hour span than does day. And whereas it is fall in northern latitudes, this period marks the beginning of spring for southern latitudes. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 8 units for day and 10 units for night = 10.6666666 hours of day and 13.3333333 hours of night. This 30 day period represents approximately the days from September 22nd October 21st. Enoch 71:28 The sun now goes from the third gate, as it sets in the third gate in the west; but returning to the east, it proceeds by the second gate of the east for thirty days. Enoch 71:29 In like manner also it sets in the second gate in the west of heaven. Enoch 71:30 At that period the night is eleven parts, and the day seven parts. The second month of fall, the sun will descend for 30 days through the second gate before reaching the first gate. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 7 units for day and 11 units for night = 9.3333333 hours of day and 14.6666666 hours of night. This 30 day period represents approximately the days October 22nd – November 21st. Enoch 71:31 Then the sun goes at that time from the second gate, as it sets in the second gate in the west; but returns to the east, proceeding by the first gate, for thirty-one days. Enoch 71:32 And sets in the west in the first gate. 256
Enoch 71:33 At that period that night is lengthened as much again as the day. Enoch 71:34 It is twelve parts precisely, while the day is six parts. The first gate represents the last month of fall and 31 day period where the sun reaches the Tropic of Capricorn as lowest point of its journey towards the outer rim of the Antarctic ice wall, cited by scripture as the ends of the earth. As the longest night and shortest day of the year before the sun reverses course, the winter solstice marks the point of widest annual revolution for the sun and beginning of winter on God’s calendar. And even though the following three months are the coldest of the entire year, every day following the winter solstice the days get a little bit longer. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 6 units for day and 12 units for night = 7.99999999 hours of day and 15.99999999 hours of night. This 31 day period represents approximately the days from November 22ndDecember 22nd.
257
Enoch 71:35 The sun has thus completed its beginnings, and a second time goes round from these beginnings. Enoch’s description of the sun’s descent from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn is finished according to its decline through the six gates of heaven, but because he begins the description of its movement from the day of the vernal equinox when positioned directly above the equator; Enoch continues his discourse of the sun’s ascent back to the equator, so as to finish his illustration of its grand journey through spring, summer, fall, winter, and back to spring, completing a full circuit over the course of one entire year. Enoch 71:36 Into that first gate it enters for thirty days, and sets in the west, in the opposite part of heaven. Enoch 71:37 At that period the night is contracted in its length a fourth part, that is, one portion, and becomes eleven parts. Enoch 71:38 The day is seven parts. After reaching the winter solstice or point where the sun is furthest from the polar center, this 30 day period represents the first month of winter and point where it reverses course and begins ascent upwards through the first gate until reaching the second gate once more. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 7 units for day and 11 units for night = 9.3333333 hours of day and 14.6666666 hours of night. This 30 day duration represents approximately the days December 23rd – January 21st. 258
Enoch 71:39 Then the sun returns, and enters into the second gate of the east. Enoch 71:40 It returns by these beginnings thirty days, rising and setting. Enoch 71:41 At that period the night is contracted in its length. It becomes ten parts, and the day eight parts. The second month of winter, the sun will ascend for 30 days through the second gate until it reaches the third gate nearly completing its annual movement. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 8 units for day and 10 units for night = 10.6666666 hours of day and 13.3333333 hours of night. This 30 day period represents approximately the days January 22nd – February 20th. Enoch 71:42 At that period the night becomes shortened. It is nine parts. And the night is equal with the day. The year is precisely three hundred and sixty-four days. The third and final month of winter, for this 31 day period the sun ascends up through the third gate until reaching the equator once more for vernal equinox, completing its cyclical journey having reached the point where Enoch began his account of the sun’s movement into the fourth gate. The vernal equinox divides night and day in equal portion, marking the beginning of a new spring and new linear progression of the yearly seasons according to God’s calendar. This progression to me makes much more sense than beginning the year with the second month of winter on 259
January 1st as does the Gregorian solar calendar. Enoch divides this 24 hour duration by 9 units for day and 9 for night = 9 x 1.3333333 = 11.9999999. This 31 day period represents approximately those days from February 21st – March 22nd.
260
Chapter 21 - The Lesser Luminary Enoch 71:43 The lengthening of the day and night, and the contraction of the day and night, are made to differ from each other by the progress of the sun. Enoch 71:44 By means of this progress the day is daily lengthened, and the night greatly shortened. Enoch 71:45 This is the law and progress of the sun, and its turning when it turns back, turning during sixty days, and going forth. This is the great everlasting luminary, that which he names the sun for ever and ever. Enoch 71:46 This also is that which goes forth a great luminary, and which is named after its peculiar kind, as God commanded. Enoch 71:47 And thus it goes in and out, neither slackening nor resting; but running on in its chariot by day and by night. It shines with a seventh portion of light from the moon; but the dimensions of both are equal. The division of day and night with regard to their proportions, vary according to where the sun is located in its movement through the six gates of heaven. As it climbs through the six gates which lie between the Tropic of Capricorn towards the Tropic of Cancer, the day is increased in length while the night abbreviated. Regarded as the ‘Great Luminary’ the sun shines seven times brighter than the moon referred to as the Lesser Luminary. And 261
though the sun is much brighter than the moon, they are according to Enoch of the same size being proportional in dimension. His affirmation that they are comparative in size most certainly contradicts what science asserts as characteristic for the proportionality of the sun in juxtaposition to the other members of the so-called ‘solar system.’ I know some of you are probably thinking right now, this particular passage has to have been mistranslated or misinterpreted in some way that Enoch could not actually be suggesting that both the sun and moon are of equal dimension. But as ludicrous as it sounds this is exactly what Enoch meant to cite as he restates this assertion once more in verse 77:3, reemphasizing this postulation. I believe that the Most High knew that this would be an important disclosure so as to necessitate Enoch scribing it twice within the text. And in this manner portend its significance as being worthy of further investigation. Let us therefore examine closely the proportionality of the sun in comparison to the moon as exclaimed by science. Enoch 77:3 These are the two great luminaries, whose orbs are as the orbs of heaven; and the dimensions of both are equal.
Is Science Correct or the Bible and Enoch? Science claims that the sun is 92,960,000 miles away from the earth, and being a nearly perfect sphere, has a mean radius of about 432,450 miles (696,000 kilometers), a diameter of about 864,938 miles (1.392 million km), and a circumference of about 2,713,406 miles (4,366,813 km). This means that about 109 earths could fit side by side across the breadth of its width. As the preeminent center of the planetary system which orbits around it, the sun as star 262
is said to contain 99.86% of the entire mass of the solar system as a whole, weighing about 333,000 times more that of the earth. In the heliocentric model, 1,300,000 earths could fit inside the mass of the sun with the earth being proportional in size to that of an average sunspot. The mean radius of the earth is said to be about 3,959 miles (6,371 kilometers) across, its equatorial diameter 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers) across, and its circumference at the equator about 24,901 miles (40,075 km) across. And whereas the earth had always been defined as a sphere, science now claims that the earth is pear shaped not spherical, bulging at the equator due to the centrifugal force of its daily rotation. Earth is not only oblate — wider at the equator than pole-to-pole, but pear shaped — slightly wider just south of the equator – Neil deGrasse Tyson, Twitter The moon is said to be 238,900 miles from the earth and about ¼ of its size. It has a radius of 1079.6 miles (1737.5 km) across, a diameter of 2,159.2 miles (3,475 km) across, and an equatorial circumference of 6,783.5 miles (10,917 km) across. If all of these stated proportions are correct, why do the sun and moon appear of equal size during a solar eclipse? Yes I know that according to science their parents as such is but a mere illusion because the sun is about 400 times larger than the moon while at the same time being 400 times farther away. And yet what if it could be proven that the sun was much closer to the earth than the proclaimed 92,960,000 miles away that science claims as its distance from the earth, would that make one reconsider whether all of these unquestioned facts are indeed true? 263
In order to gauge the proximity of the sun to the earth and determine whether it is indeed 92,960,000 miles away, let us examine a few image sets of the sun descending and setting in sky. The first photograph is taken from a video of a high altitude weather balloon that was launched in order to assess whether there is truly any curvature to the earth as the globe model predicates or whether curvature is nonexistent as the flat earth model of the world warrants. The question of whether there is any curvature is a whole other topic that we will examine in connection to the flat earth, but for now let us first examine this photographic evidence. In the one directly below, you will see that there is a glow pertaining to a hot spot visible directly under the sun refracted off of the clouds spread out as cover below it.
If the sun were 92,960,000 miles away, all of the sun’s rays would be spread evenly across the full length of the cloud canopy below the cloud bank from one end of it to the other. There would be no concentration of its rays on any one particular spot as shown depicted in this snapshot. The only way that the sun’s rays could be focused in such manner, is if it were very close in proximity to those clouds. If the sun’s hot spot in anyway corresponds to its size being smaller than the cloud cover which is spread as canopy 264
across the earth, it has to be of much smaller proportion than the earth; meaning that the earth cannot in any way be in orbit around it since it is of much larger size than the sun. Another way one can determine whether the sun is close or far away according to distance from the earth, is by examining how its rays stream through the clouds during sunset.
One can see from these two photographic examples of the sun declining during sunset that its rays spread out widely from its central location embedded within the clouds. The fact that its rays fan out in many directions, proves that the sun is close enough to the earth to cast its light at diverse angles.
265
Remember science claims that the sun is of such immense size that 109 earths can be lined up side by side across its diameter. If the sun were of such colossal size and located 92,960,000 miles away, the earth being just a mere speck of planet, would be hit at similar angle by all of its emanations in precisely the same manner. There would be no angular variation as all of its rays would appear parallel to one another, no matter where the observer were located on the earth. The fact that it’s emanations do not line up in such manner during sunset, is just further affirmation that the sun is much closer in proximity to the earth and of much smaller size than what science claims.
And if the sun is not as large as science claims then perhaps Enoch was correct in statement about it being of the same size as the moon and that solar eclipses are truly testament of their comparable proportions as seen during their occurrence. For otherwise how could the moon during conjunction, fit precisely over the circle of the sun’s luminescence if they were not of the same size? I believe the more we truly come to know about the earth, sun, and 266
moon, the more reason we will find to believe the Book of Enoch an inspired text trusting what is avouched within it.
Other photographic evidence which verifies that the sun is much closer to the earth than what science claims is the fact that at times clouds can be seen gathered behind the sun during sunset as shown in these images. If the sun were millions of miles away there would be no possible way that clouds could congregate in position behind the body of the sun. This again is confirmation that the sun is much closer to the earth than is asserted by astronomers and astrophysicists.
267
And so it is my belief that the sizes and proportions which are attributed by science to the sun, moon, earth, stars, and individual components of the solar system are incorrect and not to be trusted. And that the bible’s assertion of the earth being established first as foundation for the heavenly luminaries, confirms and aligns with what we can visibly see; that the earth is vastly larger in proportion than either the sun or the moon as purported by both the bible and the Book of Enoch, which is why in my opinion they are much more reliable as source than the statistical assertions and professional opinions of illumined science as repeatedly touted within scholastic textbooks or as embellished upon televised mainstream media channels. The sun according to Enoch’s description has to be small enough to fit comfortably into the narrow distance between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn since these two latitudinal points limit the extent of its travel over the course of the solar year. One can determine approximately the measure of distance between the two Tropics by adding together the total ‘degrees’ of separation for each as every 1° corresponds to about 69 miles. Since the Tropic of Cancer is fixed at 23° north latitude and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° south latitude totaling 46°. Multiplying these numbers by the 69 miles distance of every 1° of latitude, 69 x 46° = 3,174 miles. And so according to the model that Enoch details for the sun’s proportion and motion, it cannot be larger than this 3,174 mile span, but must be essentially even smaller than this number, since in his description it takes the sun six months of revolution to slowly ascend or descend through the six gates of heaven which divide the area spanning between the two Tropics. This means that according to his model the sun has to be very much smaller than this 3,174 mile number. 268
And since I am covering sunsets in this chapter I wanted to address one more observation in relation to it, which when considered also verifies the premise that the earth is a flat plane and not a spherical ball. This consideration has to do with how the sun’s rays reflect off of large bodies of water. To get a better understanding of what I am referring to, look at these two pictures.
Notice the line of sunshine which dancing atop the ocean waves, extends from the point where the sun is positioned above them all the way to the line of sight of the observer. Those of you that have seen sunset from the beach know of that which I am referring to. The stream of light which extends to the observer’s line of sight as the sun is going down, follows one as you walk up and down the shore. 269
This pillar of light remains constantly present the whole time the sun is in the sky, until it reaches the vanishing point then disappears. The fact that there is an unbroken column of light shining off of the ocean waves, uniting the sun and the observer, shows that the space which lies between these two points is perfectly level and that there is no curvature present to disrupt the continuous stream extending from the declining sunset to an observer’s eyes. If there were any curvature at any point in between it would gap this pillar of light in disruption and the length of it would never reach one in unbroken stream but because there is no curvature to the rotundity of the earth because it is not spherical but flat, one can see this stream extending from where the sun is positioned above the horizon all the way to an observer’s line of sight until the sun reaches the point of disappearance. This visible confirmation is once again proof that no curvature exists and that the earth is indeed flat as the horizon displays.

Chapter 22 – The Order of Creation It is only possible to comprehend Enoch’s vision on the courses of the heavenly luminaries, by applying their dynamic motion to the earth as a flat circular plane. Otherwise one will never be able to comprehend the mechanics of how the sun, moon, earth and other planets and stars interrelate according to Enoch nor why the order of creation in Genesis speaks of the earth as being formed first as foundation, for the heavens which were then spread as curtain above it as cited by Isaiah. We see that between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 the earth becomes null and void and without form. And then it is reshaped, and refitted as place of habitation for the creatures that the Most High would create to dwell upon it awhile later. Genesis speaks of this terraforming as happening on the third day in preparation for the creation and placement of the stars, sun, and moon which were then inserted into the firmament above it on the fourth day. [9] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. [10] And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. [11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. [13] And the evening and the morning were the third day. 271
[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. [17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, [18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. [19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. – Genesis 1:10-19 The order of creation just would not make sense if we were living on a planet which orbits around the sun, for why would God create the earth first and then on the fourth day the star that it is supposedly orbiting around. That to me just doesn’t make sense. But if one considers that the earth was created first as foundation for the other bodies which revolve above it, then the order of creation in Genesis absolutely does make sense. It would also make sense that because the earth is laid as foundation for the firmament fitted to it, that it would be much larger in mass and proportion than any of the stars, sun, or moon which were placed into its firmament. Likewise Genesis’ order of creation aligns with Joshua being given command over the sun and moon and not the earth and moon, as the earth is fixed, stationary, and motionless while it is the sun which moves in revolution above it. For otherwise what would be the point of Joshua ordering the sun to stand still, if it’s the spinning of the earth away from it that causes the sun to set. 272
Also consider, if the sun were the center of the solar system and the earth were rotating around it as the world believes, would not Enoch describe the movement of the earth in relation to its orbit around the sun, rather than the motion of the sun in circuit above the earth? What would be the point of describing the sun’s motion if it were imperceptible from the earth? Why dedicate numerous chapters to describing the relative motion of the sun and moon, and zero to the movement of the earth, if indeed the earth were spinning around the sun? All of these deliberations only make sense if the dynamics of sun, earth, and moon are not as most people believe they are. Thus, why Enoch dedicates so many chapters to description of the sun’s motion as it is the sun which moves in circle around the stationary earth and not the earth which moves in orbit around the sun. There is no way to make the current scientific model of the solar system with the earth spinning and orbiting around the sun, fit into the vision that Enoch shares in The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries and this is the main reason why nobody has in at least the last 500 years been able to explain the portion of this text on the movement of the sun. And even though there have been many books written and many authors quoting from Enoch speaking about or explaining his description of the moon’s cycle, I have never read or come across one which can explain the chapters written about the motions of the sun. I’m not sure if there ever had been one written which decrypted the sun’s motion until now. In conclusion, it will take one suspending belief in the ball earth as conception for world, in order to gain insight into the visions which were shown to Enoch by the angel Uriel. There is no other explanation which can help one to unlock 273
The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries than what I relate here in this book. This knowledge confirms four things 1) the viability of the flat earth as model for explaining the dynamics of world 2) the validity of the Book of Enoch as authentic divinely inspired text 3) that we are that “remote (generation) one which is for to come” that Enoch spoke of that would be witness to all secrets coming to light: And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: - Acts 2:17 4) And that whenever the scriptures contradict ‘expert’ opinion, one should look deeper into why one believes even those things which seem to be obvious that we had as children assimilated as truth without question. It may surprise us as to what kinds of things we have been deceived into believing.

Chapter 23 - Is The Earth Really Moving? Science claims that the earth is spinning at a rate of 1,037.541666666667 mph at the equator which can be calculated by dividing the circumference of the earth at the equator (about 24,901 miles or 40,070 km) by the number of hours in a day (24). When one converts its orbital speed around the sun at a rate of 18.5 miles/sec (30 km/sec) that equals to 18.5 x 60 x 60 = 66,600 mph (108,000 kmh). Does not the rate of the earth span and its orbital speed around the sun, not hint at the sinister nature of the forces aligned against the flat earth as revelation? Or is the fact that both of those numbers contain 666 as part of their number sequence just mere coincidence? If you really do believe that this is coincidence, consider this also, when one subtracts the supposed inclination of the earth from 90°, its measure if it were perfectly aligned vertically, 90° - 23.4° = 66.6°. Coincidence I think not. Science also claims that the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 80,000 to 120,000 light-years across, less than 7,000 light-years thick and that our solar system is situated near the edge of one of its spiraling arms, 26,000 light-years from galactic center. Because of this immense size, the solar system is said to be orbiting around this center at a velocity of about approximately 155 miles/sec (250 km/sec) or 558,000 mph (900,000 kmh), taking approximately 200-250 million years to complete one orbit. It is said that the Milky Way itself is orbiting around some grand universal center at an astounding 372.823 miles/sec (600 km/sec) or about 1,342,162.8 miles per hour (2,160,000 kmh). With the compounding effect of all these mind blowing speeds coming together, isn’t it a wonder that one can stand outside on any given day and not feel the 275
slightest exertion of breeze. That there are numerous days when the flag in my front yard wavers not in the least bit, and that the wind is often so slight or nonexistent that it won’t even tussle one’s hair. "These measurements, confirmed by the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite in 1989 and 1990, suggest that our galaxy and its neighbors, the socalled Local Group, are moving at 600 kilometers per second (1.34 million miles per hour) in the direction of the constellation Hydra." – Hypertextbook.com And so is the earth really spinning at 1037.5416666666667 mph at the equator and orbiting the sun at a rate of 18.5 miles/sec (30 km/sec) or 66,600 mph as science claims or is the earth fixed and immovable as Enoch and the bible assert? In preceding chapters I shared the stories of how the Most High had given Joshua the power to command the moon and sun stand still rather than the moon and earth, and that when Joshua stopped them in mid revolution that there were no repercussions to the earth at all. And while science asserts that the earth orbits the sun, at the same time that the sun orbits some grand galactic center, at the same time that the Milky Way galaxy orbits some grand universal center, the bible contends that the earth is fixed, stationary, immobile, and unmoving. Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. - 1 Chronicles 16:30 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. – Psalm 93:1 276
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. Psalm 96:10 [1] Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. [2] Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: [3] Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: [4] Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: [5] Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. - Psalm 104:5 [18] For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. - Isaiah 45:18 The earth does not move, if it did there would be no way that a column of smoke could rise straight into the atmosphere. Some try to claim that the atmosphere moves with the earth, but this is not true because if it did smoke would not shift in all direction on windy days according to the movements of the air currents. If the earth were moving at a 1038 mph towards the east, the smoke which is rising in column would always trail towards the west looking like the exhaust expelled from the smokestack of an 1870’s era train which travelling about 60 mph leaves a trail of thick black smoke behind it. If the earth were really spinning at the 277
high rates of speed that science claims it is moving at, everything on the earth would be disheveled in chaos. Water would never settle in stillness or ever become perfectly level as it so often does on a stationary earth. Oceans and lakes would constantly slosh spilling out and all direction disrupted by the constant motion of spinning eastward but such is not the case. In order to establish the Biblical premise that the earth was established as a fixed stationary and immovable plane, let us look at the Strong’s concordance translation of the English word stablished for clues on the context of the original Hebrew meaning so that we can better assess the interpretations of the above phrases as it applies to the earth’s creation as a firm fixed foundation for the heavens which were spread out as firmament above. Stablished כּוּןkûwn, koon; a primitive root; properly, to be erect (i.e. stand perpendicular); hence (causatively) to set up, in a great variety of applications, whether literal (establish, fix, prepare, apply), or figurative (appoint, render sure, proper or prosperous):—certain(-ty), confirm, direct, faithfulness, fashion, fasten, firm, be fitted, be fixed, frame, be meet, ordain, order, perfect, (make) preparation, prepare (self), provide, make provision, (be, make) ready, right, set (aright, fast, forth), be stable, (e-) stablish, stand, tarry, × very deed. The KJV translates Strongs H3559 219x in the following manner: prepare (85x), establish (58x), ready (17x), stablish (5x), provide (5x), right (5x), fixed (4x), set (4x), direct (3x), order (3x), fashion (3x), variant (2x), certain (2x), confirmed (2x), firm (2x), preparation (2x), misc (17x). Outline of Biblical Usage 278
to be firm, be stable, be established 1. (Niphal) 1. to be set up, be established, be fixed 1. to be firmly established 2. to be established, be stable, be secure, be enduring 3. to be fixed, be securely determined 2. to be directed aright, be fixed aright, be steadfast 3. to prepare, be ready 4. to be prepared, be arranged, be settled 2. (Hiphil) 1. to establish, set up, accomplish, do, make firm 2. to fix, make ready, prepare, provide, provide for, furnish 3. to direct toward (moral sense) 4. to arrange, order 3. (Hophal) 1. to be established, be fastened 2. to be prepared, be ready 4. (Polel) 1. to set up, establish 2. to constitute, make 3. to fix 4. to direct 5. (Pulal) to be established, be prepared 6. (Hithpolel) to be established, be restored
One can see by all of these varying definitions that the earth was rendered, fashioned, fastened, fitted, framed, set, established as a firm, immovable, fixed foundation for the heavens which were spread out as a curtain above it. The heavens are the firmament where the luminaries were put, to not only provide light for day and night but to also provide mechanism for marking the days, weeks, months, and years as they pass. The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, maintains that it is the sun and the 279
moon which revolve above the unmoving flat circular plane of the earth, and not the earth which revolves around the sun. If the earth were truly in orbit around the sun, I’m sure that Enoch would have written about its motions along with that of the moon’s but he didn’t, which to me is again verification that it is the sun and moon which move above the stationary earth as he describes. If one were to really investigate this topic, reading many of the books which have been written about the flat earth as topic, one will find that many of them contain within them detail of the many scientific experiments which had been done over hundreds of years which conclusively establish that the earth is not moving. And because there are so many books available which are excellent in this manner, I will not be encapsulating that body of work here into this book as my focus for writing about the flat earth is completely different being biblically orientated and not scientific.
280
Chapter 24 – Visible Proofs of a Stationary Earth Before leaving the debate of whether science or the bible and Enoch are correct about the earth being stationary or moving, and whether it is of larger proportion than the sun, and moon; I would like to list a few observations which I believe will complement this discussion helping one to deduce the truth of this debate: 1) During early 19th century wars, it was established that no matter which direction one shoots cannon fire, whether north, east, south, or west, the cannonball always projects itself and a straight line extending to about the same distance without regard to the direction of fire, supposed Coriolis effect, or rotational direction of the earth. Which if the earth were spinning at a 1037.541666666667 mph towards the east at such a rate of speed, the effect of such rotation would characteristically be seen in the trajectory and distance reached by cannonball fire depending upon which direction one were shooting at target. Meaning that if one were shooting to the north, the cannonball should deviate towards the west. If one were to shoot towards the west, the target should encroach towards the shooter closing distance. If one were shooting towards the south, the cannonball should deviate towards the east. If one were shooting east the target should move away from the shooter gaining distance as it rotated with the earth. But this is not the case. This same principle applies to modern day artillerist. 2) Many of you reading this book are familiar with the experience of having to take a flight to reach some far off destination. When one boards a plane to fly to another part of the world, most never consider how their flights are going to be affected by the rotational speed of the earth. One expects that no matter in which direction one is flying 281
that it will always take about the same certain amount of hours to get there even though one must adjust for wind direction and the particular time zones that one crosses over. Unless it is an extremely lengthy flight there is usually not that much of a noticeable difference. It will usually take about the same certain amount of hours to fly to a certain destination depending upon distance. No matter if one flies to the east, north, south, or west, if one takes a 500 mile flight, one will end up about 500 miles away from the origin of their flight. There is no deviation with regards to distance due to the earth’s rotation. For if the earth were truly moving at approximately 1038 mph near the equator, planes launching from zero latitude flying east would lose ground and never be able to reach their destinations since commercial flights average about 500 miles an hour could not match the rotational speed of the earth. Planes flying north or south would have their destinations shifted eastward in accordance to the speed of the earth’s rotation depending upon the latitudes that they took off from. Planes would also have to adjust for the earth’s rotation by flying either northeast to reach a northerly destination or southeast to reach a southerly destination. Planes flying west would have the destination rotated towards them so that their arrival times would be cut much shorter. Considering the effect of the earth’s rotation on airplane flights and destinations, can you imagine what kind of a nightmare it would be for pilots to have to land an airplane while the earth were moving beneath them at such high rates of speed? There would be so many crash landings happening every day, flying probably wouldn’t even be allowed as airline crashes would be such a regular event they would dominate the evening news. Most pilots would never even have survived their training to later become fulltime pilots. 282
3) Hot air balloonists can also attest to the earth being stationary. And that when they leave the ground the earth is not moving at a high rate of speed away from them but rather they find themselves in fixed orientation above it. They know without question that the only shift in motion felt or seen, occurs when the wind thrusts them in certain direction. 4) Parachutists also experience this same dynamic when leaving the safety of their plane, the ground below them does not move at an imaginary rate of speed towards the east. Neither pilot nor the parachutist has to take into consideration which direction they are flying towards or which direction the earth is spinning in order to accommodate for such spin so that the parachutist can make target. They simply launch themselves from the plane somewhere above the mark and then float down guiding themselves to it. In each instance there is no consideration for the supposed motion of the earth at any rate of speed. Keep in mind that science asserts this 1037.541666666667 mph speed only applies at the equator, and to complicate matters even more for each of the scenarios above, one must adjust the earth’s rate of speed according to latitude since they claim that the centrifugal force and angular momentum of the earth decreases this imaginary rate of speed as one nears either the North or South Pole. Yet in each of the cases I cited above, there is no motion to the earth proving in each instance that the earth is not moving and as the bible and Enoch assert is fixed, immovable, and firm. There are many other scenarios which could also be cited but again you will read about many of those in other books written on the topic of the flat earth. 283
Curvature of the Earth? Before concluding this chapter I would like to quickly mention one other aspect of this debate which in my early research on this topic was enough to convince me that the model for the world that I had believed in my whole life was wrong, plain and simple. This has to do with the measure of curvature. When one looks into this aspect of the research, one will find that the number which pertains to the mathematical formula of how one can discover how much curvature the earth should have at any given distance is based upon the measure of 8 (rounded up) inches. Below is the method that Samuel Birley Rowbotham used for calculating the rate at which the spherical earth, 25,000 English statute miles in circumference curves. "If the earth is a globe, and is 25,000 English statute miles in circumference, the surface of all standing water must have a certain degree of convexity--every part must be an arc of a circle. From the summit of any such arc there will exist a curvature or declination of 8 inches in the first statute mile. In the second mile the fall will be 32 inches; in the third mile, 72 inches, or 6 feet, as shown in the following diagram:
Earth's Rate of Curvature "Let the distance from T to figure 1 represent 1 mile, and the fall from 1 to A, 8 inches; then the fall from 2 to B will be 32 inches, and from 3 to C, 72 inches. In every mile after the first, the curvature downwards from the point T increases as the square of the 284
distance multiplied by 8 inches. The rule, however, requires to be modified after the first thousand miles. "The following table will show at a glance the amount of curvature, in round numbers, in different distances up to 100 miles. To find the curvature in any number of miles not given in the table, simply square the number, multiply that by 8, and divide by 12. The quotient is the curvation required. Statute Miles Away Math = Drop 1 1x1x8= 8 Inches 2 2x2x8= 32 Inches 3 3 x 3 x 8 / 12 = 6 Feet 4 4 x 4 x 8 / 12 = 10 Feet 5 5 x 5 x 8 / 12 = 16 Feet 6 6 x 6 x 8 / 12 = 24 Feet 7 7 x 7 x 8 / 12 = 32 Feet 8 8 x 8 x 8 / 12 = 42 Feet 9 9 x 9 x 8 / 12 = 54 Feet 10 10 x 10 x 8 / 12 = 66 Feet "To find the curvature in any number of miles not given in the table, simply square the number, multiply that by 8, and divide by 12. The quotient is the curvation required. One can see that after a few miles the curvature is so great that it should be easily recognizable and yet when scientists tried to measure this curvature none was detected, proving curvature nonexistent. Other experiments were set up to detect the motion of the earth, and again none was detected. Some of the experiments which had been done which verify these conclusions are the Bedford Level experiment, The 285
Michelson-Gale experiment, “Airey’s failure”, and The Sagnac experiment. There are others which have also been done which discount curvature or movement to the earth. I’m not going to repeat here all of those experiments, however I will mention that in my own study on this topic I learned that construction engineers do not in any way consider the curvature of the earth when drawing up blueprints for the building of bridges, canals, and railroads over long distances well in extent of 30 miles. At 30 miles a construction project should have to figure in a corresponding drop of 600 feet according to the formula above. Another thing which negates as factor curvature which all of us can attest to especially now with the aid of high powered cameras and telescopes available to our generation, is how on a clear day, one can perceive across vast ocean distances, monuments such as the Statue of Liberty, lighthouses, cityscapes, and even land masses such as island vistas some in excess of 50 miles. But according to the formula for the measure of the earth’s curvature at distances in excess of 20 miles, such structure should be 266 feet below the horizon under an observer’s line of sight making such sightings impossible.
Neither can any curvature be visibly detected when looking out of the basket of a hot air balloon, the windows of 286
noncommercial planes (commercial airliners have windows installed which like fish eye lenses warp the appearance of the earth), or when standing upon the highest mountains of the earth. Even at very high altitude, in every direction the horizon remains flat and level. One final thing in regard to curvature, it is a natural characteristic of liquids and water to find a uniform plane in seeking to achieve flatness following flash flooding during major downpours such as hurricanes or tsunamis, or even in the case of a ruptured or burst dam. Water will always flow together in stream seeking low point as place to pool until settling at a new level which is always flat.
287
And then the moon, ever punctual to mark the times, an everlasting sign: It is the moon that signals the feasts, a luminary that wanes after being full. The month derives its name from hers, she waxes wonderfully in her phases, banner of the hosts on high, shining in the vault of heaven. - Ecclesiastes 43:6-9
288
III. Chapter 25 – To Rule The Night Before I begin the explanation of the portion of The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries which deals with the moon and its cyclical phases, I would like to reiterate the importance of the moon’s connection to the ancient Hebrew calendar system, since it will set the foundation for what we will be covering over the next few chapters. As one of the most important revelations that I have shared within this book, this teaching unifies God’s calendar system with the vision of Enoch and the Old Testament holy days. And so let us revisit quickly how this system works before moving on. The 12 lunar months which comprise the year according to God’s calendar, each begin with a waxing crescent moon which is lit up by at least 7% or a 1/14th portion of its light. Referred to as khodesh (time of the new moon) by the ancient Hebrews, the new moon was always set apart, as first Sabbath and day of the lunar month establishing the measure of the following four seven day Sabbath weeks. This designation is different from what science references as the new moon. In astronomy, new moon is the first phase of the Moon, when it orbits as seen from the Earth, the moment when the Moon and the Sun have the same ecliptical longitude. The Moon is not visible at this time except when it is seen in silhouette during a solar eclipse when it is illuminated by earthshine.
289
Science has linked the new moon to the conjunctive phase of dark moon, which according to God’s calendar is always the last day of the month and not the first. This differentiation is significant because someone new to the observance of new moon Sabbath, would instead honor the dark moon as khodesh instead of the new waxing crescent moon as cited by Enoch. Such a miscalculation would throw those whom were not aware of this difference, off in alignment by at least half a day if not more. Thus it is important to be aware of this distinction. Every lunar month according to God’s calendar system is established in the following manner.
Workdays Sabbaths New Moon day 1st Six work days (dates 2nd – 7th) Sabbath 8th Six work days (dates 9th – 14th) Sabbath 15th Six work days (dates 16th – 21st) Sabbath 22nd Six work days (dates 23rd – 28th) Sabbath 29th Translation day, 30th, when needed
290
In modern calendar format, every Hebrew month appears thus: 1 2345678 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29-(30) Because every month of God’s calendar system has five Sabbaths which always fall on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th, in correspondence with the new moon, first quarter moon, full moon, third quarter moon, and dark moon; even nomadic shepherds camped out in the wilderness with their flocks for days and weeks, were able to maintain track of time simply by looking up at the moon. During ancient times if one did lose track of the Sabbath, perhaps because the moon was not visible for extended length of time because of thick cloud cover; the Hebrew peoples were easily able to assess what day and week it was just by mere observation of the moon in the heavens. They would also be able to realign with the exact day of Sabbath the following lunar month, just by watching for the next new moon. Realigning with a new calendar month is something that is not possible on the Julian or Gregorian calendar, since the weeks and months are no longer aligned to the moon as is God’s calendar system. Enoch Chapter 72 Enoch 72:1 After this law I beheld another law of an inferior luminary, the name of which is the moon, and the orb of which is as the orb of heaven.
291
Enoch 72:2 Its chariot, which it secretly ascends, the wind blows; and light is given to it by measure. Enoch 72:3 Every month at its exit and entrance it becomes changed; and its periods are as the periods of the sun. And when in like manner its light is to exist, its light is a seventh portion from the light of the sun.’ Enoch 72:4 Thus it rises, and at its commencement towards the east goes forth for thirty days. Enoch 72:5 At that time it appears, and becomes to you the beginning of the month. Thirty days it is with the sun in the gate from which the sun goes forth. Though the sun’s light is seven times brighter than that of the moon, both have a similar pattern of moving through the gates of heaven. Enoch begins description of the moon’s shift through its first 30 day lunar cycle while it is in conjunction with the sun, and positioned directly above the equator on the day of the vernal equinox. This is also where he began the account of the sun’s (great luminary) motion through these gates. Enoch 72:6 Half of it is in extent seven portions, one half; and the whole of its orb is void of light, except a seventh portion out of the fourteen portions of its light. And in a day it receives a seventh portion, or half that portion, of its light. Its light is by sevens, by one portion, and by the half of a portion. It sets with the sun.
292
Every day when the moon rises with the sun it gains ½ of a 1/7th portion of light. When one divides 14 into 1, that number amounts to .0714205714205714 or a little over 7% of light a day. This is the total amount of light that the moon daily increases or decreases as it progresses through each of its quarterly phases, cycling as cited here from being completely void of light (dark moon) to being half way (first quarter) to then all the way full. Enoch 72:7 And when the sun rises, the moon rises with it; receiving half a portion of light. Enoch 72:8 On that night, when it commences its period, previously to the day of the month, the moon sets with the sun. The only time that the moon rises with the sun is during the conjunctive phase (dark moon) when it is not visible in the sky being ‘void of light.’ The reason it cannot be seen during this time is because it is moving with the sun and blotted out by the brightness of its light. During this time, it rises when the sun rises, moves as it moves, and then sets when it sets. This particular phase is considered to be the last day of the month on God’s calendar leading up to the khodesh as new moon day. I do not believe it a coincidence at all that Enoch begins this portion of the text dedicated to the moon with explanation of what exactly khodesh is. Enoch 72:9 And on that night it is dark in its fourteen portions, that is, in each half; but it rises on that day with one seventh portion precisely, and in its progress declines from the rising of the sun.
293
Enoch 72:10 During the remainder of its period its light increases to fourteen portions. At the very end of the conjunctive phase while the sun is setting in the west, the moon will first become visible for very short time as a very thin crescent before setting with the sun disappearing from view. And though this is the first time that the moon becomes visible as a young moon, this sighting is not counted as khodesh (new moon). The next day’s waxing crescent moon, the one which trails sunrise the following morning, this is the one which is counted as new moon, being lit by at least 7%, a 1/14th part, or as Enoch states ‘a half of a 1/7th’ portion of light.’ The moon daily increases the amount of its shine by this apportion until becoming full. Enoch Chapter 73 Enoch 73:1 Then I saw another progress and regulation which He effected in the law of the moon. The progress of the moons, and everything relating to them, Uriel showed me, the holy angel who conducted them all. Enoch 73:2 Their stations I wrote down as he showed them to me. Enoch 73:3 I wrote down their months, as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days. Enoch 73:4 In each of its two seven portions it completes all its light at rising and at setting. 294
The moon adjusts its ‘stations’ (phases) increasing its light over the course of 15 days as it daily finishes its circuit and upon returning to the east side of heaven, where it begins another revolution. When in conjunctive phase, the moon cannot be seen but mimics the sun’s coursing rising in the morning with it. Both the sun and moon move in clockwise revolution above the earth, but because the moon rotates at a slightly slower pace than the sun, its circuit is daily offset slightly from the sun’s coursing. Every day as both complete their daily revolution, the moon will lag further and further behind the sun, shifting slightly through its monthly cycle increasing or decreasing its light by a 1/14th portion. This daily offset equals to about 50 minutes of lag time and 12°of deviation from the sun’s movement, not including the 1° of its shift through the 12 houses of the zodiac.
Trailing sunrise everyday by 12° and 50 minutes, the moon will first shift into a waxing crescent phase and be seen in the evenings, above the western horizon following sunset. By first quarter, it will trail the sun by 90 degrees and 6 hours, rising in the middle of the day, reaching its highest point in the southern skies at sunset, and setting in the 295
middle of the night. As it shifts into waxing gibbous (more than half-illuminated), it will trail sunrise a little more with each passing afternoon, setting later and later each night. By full moon, it is positioned in opposition 180 degrees from the sun, and trailing 12 hours behind it, rises as the sun sets, reaching zenith in southern skies at midnight, and setting in the morning as the sun rises. The moon’s pattern of phase makes it appear to have a counterclockwise revolution but like the sun it rotates clockwise above the earth. Contrary to what Enoch asserts as the motions for both sun and moon in the firmament of the heavens, science teaches that the moon like the earth spins counterclockwise daily on axis as it monthly orbits around the earth, and that the reason the moon does not appear to shift erratically at all during the course of the day or while cycling monthly through the sky, is because its spin is perfectly aligned with that of the earth’s, in what science refers to as synchronous rotation.
Science claims that if the moon did not share alignment with the earth in this way, it could in no way hold a regular pattern of unfolding quarterly phase. They attribute the 296
difference in the average length of the monthly sidereal cycle of 27.321661 days to the 29.531 cycle of a synodic month, to the moon’s supposed synchronous rotation with the earth. A synodic month is longer than a sidereal month because the Earth-Moon system is orbiting the Sun in the same direction as the Moon is orbiting the Earth. Therefore, the Sun appears to move with respect to the stars, and it takes about 2.2 days longer for the Moon to return to the same apparent position with respect to the Sun. - Wikipedia And so according to science, the moon moves in tandem with the earth, at the same time that it orbits around the sun when according to the bible, Enoch, and what we can directly observe, it is the sun and moon which move in clockwise (not counterclockwise) circuit above the stationary and immobile circle of the earth. But because most people do not have a real connection with the creation and do not understand the intricacies of its patterns, science is able to get us to deny what we can directly see with our own eyes. They appeal to us in theory and in that way are able to succeed in perpetuating the belief that we as humanity live upon a spherical planet. And though their explanations sound reasonable according to the declared dynamics of the ‘solar system’ as a whole, when one understands how the earth, sun, and moon truly interrelate with one another as depicted by scripture, one will easily be able to see through the façade of hundreds of years of lies, built upon lies which together create the web of deceit which upheld as truth has kept most locked into a heliocentric world view. 297
Enoch 73:5 On stated months it changes its settings; and on stated months it makes its progress through each gate. In two gates the moon sets with the sun, viz. in those two gates which are in the midst, in the third and fourth gate. From the third gate it goes forth for seven days, and makes its circuit. Enoch 73:6 Again it returns to the gate whence the sun goes forth, and in that completes the whole of its light. Then it declines from the sun, and enters in eight days into the sixth gate, and returns in seven days to the third gate, from which the sun goes forth. Enoch 73:7 When the sun proceeds to the fourth gate, the moon goes forth for seven days, until it passes from the fifth gate. Enoch 73:8 Again it returns in seven days to the fourth gate, and completing all its light, declines, and passes on by the first gate in eight days; Enoch 73:9 And returns in seven days to the fourth gate, from which the sun goes forth. In the above passages, Enoch describes the movement of the sun through the third and fourth gate of heaven, while at the same time references the progression of the moon through two full cycles of its quarterly phase. The description of the moon ‘completing the whole of its light’ relates to the first half of its monthly cycle or those phases (stations) between conjunction and full moon. The second half of its monthly phase between full moon and lunar conjunction are cited as its ‘declining from the sun’ which as reference relates to its only becoming visible after sunset 298
while in these phases. The moon goes through the same progression of ascending and descending motion as does the sun through the six gates of heaven. But whereas it takes the sun 30 days to finish a monthly cycle and move through one of the six gates of heaven, the moon does the same in 29.531 days. The variation between these two cycles as they play out, causes the location of where the moon reaches a particular phase in the sky to change on any given month. It also leads to overlap which can result in partial or full solar eclipses depending upon how the sun aligns with the moon in their movement through the 6 gates of heaven. Enoch 73:10 Thus I beheld their stations, as according to the fixed order of the months the sun rises and sets. Enoch 73:11 At those times there is an excess of thirty days belonging to the sun in five years; all the days belonging to each year of the five years, when completed, amount to three hundred and sixty-four days; and to the sun and stars belong six days; six days in each of the five years; thus thirty days belonging to them; Enoch 73:12 So that the moon has thirty days less than the sun and stars. Because the moon’s monthly cycle (29.531 days) is shorter than that of the sun’s (30 days) as it cycles through the six gates of heaven, the lunar year over 12 months of alternating between 29 and 30 day periods, adds up to a total of 6 x 29 + 6 x 30 = 354 days. Since it takes the sun 299
30 days each to course back and forth through the six gates of heaven, the 12 months of the solar cycle add up to 12 x 30 = 360 days. Subtracting the 360 days which correlate to the sun’s motion through these gates from the 354 days which correlate to the moon’s motion through these gates equals the six days a year, or 30 days over 5 years that Enoch cites as belonging only to the sun and stars. Enoch 73:13 The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days. If one divides the totals given for the amount of days that correspond to the length of these years, the math in every instance equals 364, which is the total number of days in a solar year according to Enoch’s account. 3 years = 1092 days which divided by 3 = 364 days, 5 years 1820 days which divided by 5 = 364 days, 8 years 2912 days which divided by 8 = 364 days. And so Enoch is speaking here about the difference between the solar year according to his description of the motions of the sun, and the lunar year which corresponds to God’s calendar as determined by the synodic month and four phases of the moon. Enoch 73:14 To the moon alone belong in three years one thousand and sixty-two days; in five years it has fifty days less than the sun, for an addition being made to the one thousand and sixty-two days, in five 300
years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days; and the days of the moon in eight years are two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days. If one divides the totals given for the amount of days by the length of years, in every instance the sum equals 354. When one divides 354 by 12 as the number of lunar months on God’s calendar, one gets 29.5 which coincides approximately to the 29.530588 days of a synodic month. The ancient Hebrew calendar system maintains alignment with this average, by alternating the 12 lunar months by 29 and 30 day duration. 1062 divided by 3 = 354 days, 1770 divided by 5 = 354 days, and 2832 divided by 6 = 354 days. 364 as total number for the days of the solar year – 354 as total number of the days for the lunar year = 10 days which multiplied by 5 = the 50 days in five years that differentiate the lunar and solar year according to Enoch’s description. Enoch 73:15 For its days in eight years are less than those of the sun by eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years. If one subtracts the number of days in a solar year 364, from the number of days in a corresponding lunar year 354, one will find that the lunar year has exactly 10 less days than the solar year. In 8 years that diminution totals 80 days. Enoch 73:16 The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the moon, and the station of the sun; which rise in the different gates; which rise and set in them for thirty days. 301
Enoch Chapter 74 Enoch 74:1 These are the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, those which preside over all creation, and over all the stars; with the four days which are added and never separated from the place allotted them, according to the complete calculation of the year. Enoch 74:2 And these serve four days, which are not calculated in the calculation of the year. It takes the sun 30 days to move back and forth through the six gates of heaven which are spread from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn. 6 multiplied by 30 days = 180 days multiplied by 2 for each of the 6 month periods that it takes the sun to travel from Tropic to Tropic = 360 days. The “four days which are added and never separated from the place allotted them” represent the four additional days that it takes the sun to either cross the equator when reaching the two equinoxes or having reached culmination at either of the two solstices to reverse course and begin moving in the opposing direction. Adding these four days to the 360 which define its travel back and forth through the gates of heaven totals, 360 days + 4 days = 364 days. The four days associated with the two equinoxes and solstices, are called the ‘leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, those which preside over all creation, and over all the stars.’ I believe this reference links the role of certain stars in the constellations Aries, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius to their role as indicators of the seasons, since these 4 Zodiacal houses align with the 2 equinoxes and solstices, which mark the transition of one season into another, beginning spring on the vernal equinox, summer on 302
the June solstice, fall on the autumnal equinox, and winter on the December solstice. They mark the four 24 hour periods considered to be the most significant times of year, when day and night are equally divided, and/or of longest and shortest perpetuation. Enoch 74:3 Respecting them, men greatly err, for these luminaries truly serve, in the dwelling place of the world, one day in the first gate, one in the third gate, one in the fourth gate, and one in the sixth gate. Enoch 74:4 And the harmony of the world becomes complete every three hundred and sixty-fourth state of it. For the signs, Enoch 74:5 The seasons, Enoch 74:6 The years, Enoch 74:7 And the days, Uriel showed me; the angel whom the Lord of glory appointed over all the luminaries. The winter solstice as longest night of the year occurs when the sun descends through the first gate reaching the Tropic of Capricorn. The vernal equinox when the sun rises through the third gate reaching the equator. The autumnal equinox when the sun descends through the fourth gate reaching the equator. The summer solstice as longest day of the year, occurs when the sun rises through the sixth gate reaching the Tropic of Cancer. As cited previously, the two equinoxes and solstices are of special significance to the Most High since they designate the beginning and changing of the seasons. Adding these four days to the 30 days it 303
takes the sun to travel back and forth through each of the six gates of heaven, 30 x 6 = 180 x 2 + 4 = 364 days or the completion of one solar cycle. This result prompts the question of why and how the days of solar year changed from 364 days as cited in this text to 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds, being its current measure. Did something happen between the times that Enoch scribes this as revelation and modern times? And if so what event might have took place which would disrupt the pace of the sun in such manner, so as to necessitate the addition of 1 day, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds? Did something like a meteorite impact the sun directly causing it to deviate from its 364 day cycle? Or did the Most High instruct the sun to slow its pace down slightly sometime in the ancient past, which amounted to this difference? Considering that the sun can regulate its speed why wouldn’t it just speed up a little more and catching back up reestablish the prior 364 day calculation of a solar year? Perhaps it has something to do with Lucifer marshalling forces directly against the sun as effort to change, distort, revise, and disrupt the continued maintenance of God’s calendar system, necessitating need to institute a completely different calendar version as replacement for what would be perceived as an outdated system. The reason I mention this is because there has been recently shared on Youtube, photographic and videotaped evidence capturing sightings of large unidentified objects which some speculate as being craft near the sun which no one has answer for? Many deny that these objects could exist as it is unfathomable to think of how large they must be in size 304
relative to the sun’s immensity when one deliberates over their proportionality in accordance to scientific assertion of the sun’s size. However, if one considers the proportions of the sun and earth as related by Enoch, the objects spotted near the sun would not be of immense size at all (not earth sized as described in the video) making their existence plausible and much more graspable, though still strange in consideration. Whether these objects have or had anything to do with slowing the pace of the sun, I am unsure but I do know the Most High would never have ordained such change as he warns against it in the following passage. And on this account he ordained them for himself as feasts for a memorial for ever, and thus are they ordained. 29. And they placed them on the heavenly tables, each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the third to the fourth. 30. And all the days of the commandment will be two and fifty weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete. 31. Thus it is engraven and ordained on the heavenly tables. And there is no neglecting (this commandment) for a single-year or from year to year. 32. And command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according to this reckoning-three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their testimony, and they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts. 33. But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to His commandment, then they will 305
disturb all their seasons, and the years will be dislodged from this (order), [and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged] and they will neglect their ordinances. 34. And all the children of Israel will forget, and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and seasons, and sabbaths, and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years. 35. For I know and from henceforth shall I declare it unto thee, and it is not of my own devising; for the book (lieth) written before me, and on the heavenly tables the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after their ignorance. 36. For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of the moon--now (it) disturbeth the seasons and cometh in from year to year ten days too soon. 37. For this reason the years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees. 38. For this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayest testify to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the new moons and seasons and sabbaths and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh. – The Book of Jubilees, 6:28-39 306
And so according to this passage, the year was still measured by 364 days at the point of Noah’s death. One can also see from this passage that the Most High warns the Israelites against modifying the calendar system, or changing His appointed times. But knowing that they would allow for such distortion, He prophesied the shifting of Sabbath from one of lunar observation and alignment with khodesh to a set day of the week, Sunday. Thus, my belief that He would not have in any way endorsed or instigated change to the duration of the solar year, and that something malevolent had to of happened which deviated the solar year from 364 days to that of 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds if this is indeed the length of it. “Respecting them, men greatly err.” Whatever is the cause of this change, I believe it was utilized as reason to decree the exigency of a replacement calendar system. Knowing the end from the beginning, the Most High had already foreseen how disregard of His calendar system would affect the ordinance to honor the new moons, Sabbaths, and Levitical holy days as well as how this would lead the Israelites and modern Christians into involvement with idolatry, pagan festivity, and the consumption of things unclean ‘of all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.’ I believe these deceptions to be one of the main reasons why He protected the Book of Enoch from complete eradication, so as to preserve its critical information for the end of days which in turn would lay the groundwork for the reemergence of this long forgotten method of tracking time, the Hebrew calendar which would then lay the groundwork for the bringing forth renewed interest in the Levitical holy days. 307

Chapter 26 – The Ministers of Heaven Enoch 74:8 Of heaven in heaven, and in the world; that they might rule in the face of the sky, and appearing over the earth, become Enoch 74:9 Conductors of the days and nights: the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the ministers of heaven, which make their circuit with all the chariots of heaven. These two passages sum up the entire premise of this book in one sentence. The ministers of heaven as celestial hosts together make circuit ‘over the earth’ and in ‘the face of the sky,’ aligning with Psalms 19’s description of the tabernacle of the sun, Genesis 1’s order of creation, and Isaiah 40’s vision of the curtain spread as firmament over the circle of the earth. Being assigned specific circuits, the heavenly luminaries’ motion through the heavens dictate the measurement of certain cycles of time. And like a giant clock enable humanity to keep track of passing time so that those with eyes to see, will be able to recognize the ‘season’ and conceptualize the encroaching end of days in our collective march towards the Day of the Lord. Enoch 74:10 Thus Uriel showed me twelve gates open for the circuit of the chariots of the sun in heaven, from which the rays of the sun shoot forth. Enoch 74:11 From these proceed heat over the earth, when they are opened in their stated seasons. They are for the winds, and the spirit of the dew, when in 309
their seasons they are opened; opened in heaven at its extremities. Enoch 74:12 Twelve gates I beheld in heaven, at the extremities of the earth, through which the sun, moon, and stars, and all the works of heaven, proceed at their rising and setting. Enoch 74:13 Many windows also are open on the right and on the left. Enoch 74:14 One window at a certain season grows extremely hot. So also are there gates from which the stars go forth as they are commanded, and in which they set according to their number. Enoch 74:15 I saw likewise the chariots of heaven, running in the world above to those gates in which the stars turn, which never set. One of these is greater than all, which goes round the whole world.
The Zodiac The zodiac divides the 360° of the heavens into twelve distinguishable parts of 30° each. Designated by pictorial representation, the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac as a whole formulate the backdrop for the sun’s annual coursing, each sign pertaining to a different month of the solar calendar year. And just as the sun’s annual progression through the six gates of heaven as it moves back and forth between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn is linked to a specific time of the year, so is the revolution of the constellations which make up the 12 houses of the zodiac also linked to a specific time of the year. 310
While the sun moves through these gates, the stars spinning once daily around the fixed star Polaris shift incrementally 1° in rotation causing the sun to move through a progression of its 12 houses. If one were able to see the stars as backdrop during the day after sunrise in the morning, one would see behind it a particular house of the zodiac, corresponding to a specific day and month of the year. And even though most people believe this movement to be caused by the earth’s orbit around the sun, it is the movement of the zodiac around the fixed star Polaris which aligns specific association of a particular house to a particular time of year. This is why a particular birth ‘sign’ is associated to a certain day, month, or season according to which sign the sun was located in when that person was born. The annual movement of the zodiac through the heavens deviates slightly from year to year so that the sun does not in the following year, return to the exact place where it had begun its movement through the zodiac the year prior, but being offset behind shifts ever so slightly. Besides these monthly differences (between the motion of the Sun and that of the Stars), there is also an annual difference; for at the end of twelve months, the Sun does not come back to exactly the same point in the Sign which commenced the year, but is a little behind it. But this difference, though it occurs every year, is so small that it will take 25,579 years for the Sun to complete this vast cycle, which is called The Precession of the Equinoxes; i.e., about one degree in every seventy, one years. If the Sun came back to the precise point at which it began the year, each sign would correspond always and regularly, exactly with a particular month, but owing to the constant regression, the Sun (while it goes through the whole 311
twelve signs every year) commences the year in one sign for only 2,131 years. In point of fact since the Creation the commencement of the year has changed to the extent of nearly three of the signs. – E.W. Bullinger, The Witness of the Stars Thus, the sun’s movement through the zodiac as a whole, demarcates another larger cycle for the measurement and calculation of time passed. The modern era or past 6,000 years corresponds to the sun’s movement through the signs Aries, Taurus, and Pisces. And while there is no absolute agreement as to when the Piscean age will end and the Aquarian age commence, some speculate that we will soon if we have not already, arrive to that time. The start of the Aquarian age is predicated to mark the beginning of a ‘New Age of Enlightenment’ for humanity as it is believed that every transition of one era into another is accompanied by vastly meaningful and radical shifts upon the consciousness of humanity. For instance, the commencement of Piscean age is associated to the establishment of the church and Christianity, thus its association to the fish. This table links the various houses of the zodiac to the corresponding day and month that the sun can be seen in them. *Note astrology and horoscopes are said to be based upon birth charts which study how the individualized components of the cosmology were aligned during the time of a person’s birth. A birth chart is drawn up to determine which constellations the sun, moon, and other planets were present in when an individual was born into world. This same technique is used in application when assessing significant events, a ‘birth’ chart is drawn up based on how the sun, moon, planets, and stars were aligned according to the precise time of the event’s occurrence and then assessed 312
in like manner. The weird thing about modern astrology’s predictive capacity is that calculations are not based on how the stars are configured now but as they were several thousands of years ago. This difference should in itself throw off the collective assessments of these heavenly influences by several degrees since the constellations are not now aligned as they had been long ago. Thus, the predictive capacity of horoscopes should also be skewed according to this offset. To update precision, astrology as ‘pseudoscience’ must correct this deviation if trying to reflect this difference. The chart below takes this aberration into account listing the houses of the zodiac according to their astrological alignments as they were thousands of years ago as well as how they are now according to modern alignment. Also note that not all of the stars and constellations of the heaven are included as part of the traditional 12 houses of the zodiac. Ophiuchus, the serpentbearer should be included or at least acknowledged as one of the zodiacal houses as the sun spends more time traversing through it than it does Scorpius, but for whatever reason it is not.

Time Lapse Photography Proof that it is not the motion of the earth in orbit around the sun which causes the sun to cycle through the 12 houses of the zodiac but is in fact the circular motions of the 12 houses of the zodiac ‘over the earth’ and in ‘the face of the sky’ as described by Enoch, can be verified by what one can directly observe in time lapse photography as star trails. If one has never seen the photographs or sequence of photographs which are tied together to create videos that show the movements of the constellations during the night, one should do a little research on how time lapse photography captures such motion, because what ends up being depicted as star trails absolutely confirms the cyclical movement of the constellations comprising the various houses of the zodiac around the fixed star Polaris. If the earth were spinning in orbit around the sun, our view of certain stars and constellations during the night, would daily shift incrementally as the earth moved in orbit around 314
the sun. After three months the change would be so dramatic that the same stars would no longer be visible in similar manner. After six months, the earth’s reposition to the opposite side of the sun, would shift the stars and constellations so completely, a whole different set of sky, stars, and constellations would become visible making the stars visible at night fully different but this is not so. And even though the houses of the zodiac have shifted slightly in degree, the fact that the same constellations have been unceasingly visible over thousands of years, is absolute proof that the earth does not move in any way shape or form. No matter which season or month of the year it is, the same constellations are visible in slow circular rotation around Polaris as a fixed motionless star. The time lapse images of the stars rotating during the night when stitched together as video, affirm Polaris’ role as the central point for the stars of heaven just as the North Pole serves as center of the circular flat earth plane. As above so below.
315
Because Polaris does not deviate in least bit from its affixed position, navigators’ for thousands of years, have been able to use it as a point of reference for determining direction during the night while onboard ship at sea. The fact that Polaris does not move and has been able to be used as a navigational star for thousands of years, confirms that we do not live on a round globe like planet which spins in orbit around the sun as center of the solar system. And that it is not this imaginary orbit which causes the sun to move through the 12 houses of the zodiac. If we were living on a planet and were moving around the sun as science asserts, the constellations and stars that can be seen during the night would change pattern daily but so much after three, six, or nine months, that none of the same constellations would be visible in the same manner if at all.

Chapter 27 - The Winds of Heaven Enoch Chapter 75 Enoch 75:1 And at the extremities of the earth I beheld twelve gates open for all the winds, from which they proceed and blow over the earth. Enoch 75:2 Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the west, three on the right side of heaven, and three on the left. The first three are those which are towards the east, three are towards the north, three behind those which are upon the left, towards the south, and three on the west. Wind is generated by atmospheric disparities in pressure. Whenever such distinction exists, air flows from higher to lower pressure areas, channeling the movement of wind of various speed. Enoch cites the distribution of the winds among 12 gates as four sets of three equally divided by the cardinal directions. Each of these subsets interact differently with the earth’s topography, depending upon the temperatures of those regions as well as type and variety of land, water that they are situated over. These factors together affect how clouds are distributed creating the weather patterns which funnel winds formulating storm activity. Enoch 75:3 From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land. 317
Dispersed over both land and water, 2/3rd’s of the winds are cited as being destructive to the earth, while only 1/3rd are considered beneficent in nature. And because the other descriptions of the motions of the sun, moon, and stars are relative to azimuthal equidistant projection map, I see no reason to deviate from its use when trying to figure out the placement of these four sets of winds. I believe the detail associated to their characteristics also provides us clue as to where they should be allocated upon this map. Enoch 75:4 The first of these winds proceeds from the gate termed the eastern, through the first gate on the east, which inclines southwards. From this goes forth destruction, drought, heat, and perdition. Enoch 75:5 From the second gate, the middle one, proceeds equity. There issue from it rain, fruitfulness, health, and dew; and from the third gate northwards, proceed cold and drought. I also believe that the order in which each of these subsets are mentioned in and the characteristics that are listed with them, together indicate their possible orientation and placement on the azimuthal map. The first set of three winds linked to the three gates in the east are described as being a hot destructive southerly wind, an equitable wind, and a cold northerly wind. Enoch 75:6 After these proceed the south winds through three principal gates; through their first gate, which inclines eastwards, proceeds a hot wind. Enoch 75:7 But from the middle gate proceed grateful odour, dew, rain, health, and life. 318
Enoch 75:8 From the third gate, which is westwards, proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction. The second set of three winds linked to the three gates in the south are described as being a hot easterly wind, a mild life giving wind, and a destructive rainy westerly wind. Enoch 75:9 After these are the winds to the north, which is called the sea. They proceed from three gates. The first gate is that which is on the east, inclining southwards; from this proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction. From the middle direct gate proceed rain, dew, life, and health. And from the third gate, which is westwards, inclining towards the south, proceed mist, frost, snow, rain, dew, and blight. The third set of three winds linked to the three gates in the north are described as being a harsh southerly wind, a mild life giving wind, and a snowy southerly wind. Enoch 75:10 After these in the fourth quarter are the winds to the west. From the first gate, inclining northwards, proceed dew, rain, frost, cold, snow, and chill; from the middle gate proceed rain, health, and blessing; Enoch 75:11 And from the last gate, which is southwards, proceed drought, destruction, scorching, and perdition.
319
The fourth set of three winds linked to the three gates in the west are described as being a cold frosty northerly wind, a mild healthy wind, and a hot destructive southerly wind. Enoch 75:12 The account of the twelve gates of the four quarters of heaven is ended. But Enoch 75:13 All their laws, all their infliction of punishment, and the health produced by them, have I explained to you, my son Mathusala. Having studied this portion of text, it is my opinion that what Enoch cites as being description for the four sets of three winds as laid out by the four cardinal directions, construe their specific placement upon the plane of the earth. Studying his narration of these winds while looking at an azimuthal equidistant projection map, I have come to the conclusion that the characterizations of each different set, can help one deduce their alignment and distinguish their distribution upon this kind of map. If one studies carefully the description of each of the three winds for each of the four cardinal sets while looking at this kind of map, it seems to me that what Enoch seems to be asserting is that the three northern and three southern winds should be plotted among the southern latitudes from the equator down towards the outer ring of the Antarctic ice wall while the three western and three eastern winds should be plotted among the northern latitudes from the equator upwards towards the North Pole. Whether this is true or not, I am not 100% certain however, I will do my best to relay explanation of the information as I see it. Someone with better knowledge of the 320
meteorological structure of the earth and its interaction with the winds, may be able to after the publication of this book to make better sense of this particular chapter. Enoch Chapter 76 Enoch 76:1 The first wind is called the eastern, because it is the first. Enoch 76:2 The second is called the south, because the Most High there descends, and frequently there descends he who is blessed for ever. Enoch 76:3 The western wind has the name of diminution, because there all the luminaries of heaven are diminished, and descend. Enoch 76:4 The fourth wind, which is named the north, is divided into three parts; one of which is for the habitation of man; another for seas of water, with valleys, woods, rivers, shady places, and snow; and the third part contains paradise. And though we have no way of knowing in which manner the continents were situated during the time that Enoch was given the vision of how the winds were situated over the circle of the earth, I believe that the four above passages were included as clue for those that would like myself, try to figure out how to plot these four sets of three winds according to his statements. If we assume that these four passages were scribed by him for just that specific purpose, then perhaps the three northern winds should be plotted as close to the Mesopotamian region as possible, since it is assumed that paradise was located in that region as the 321
garden of Eden. This is also where the Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel, and Euphrates as four rivers mentioned in Genesis connected to the biblical garden of Eden are located. And even though I personally believe that paradise is different than the garden of Eden and currently located in the third heaven along with New Jerusalem as the city of God which serving as home for the righteous will descend to the earth for the millennial reign, I do agree that Adam and Eve were exiled from paradise to this area as garden of Eden. If such assumption is correct, the placement of the northern winds should align to this region as well.
Another possible arrangement, would be to plot the three southern winds in line with Jerusalem since we know that Jerusalem as a city and Israel as a nation are associated to the land that the Most High has declared to be His own. Perhaps Enoch’s description of the southerly winds as place 322
where the Most High frequents “because the Most High there descends, and frequently there descends he who is blessed for ever.” Maybe this description is hint that the three southerly winds should be plotted in line with Jerusalem and Israel.
Once one decides where to place the first set of three winds, plotting the other three sets should be easy according to their corresponding alignment with the four cardinal directions. And even though I decided on these two alignments as best placement for the four sets of winds, one can never really be sure if either of these arrangements fits correctly with the vision that Enoch was shown. It is also probably a certainty that the continents were not situated in the manner depicted on this map during Enoch’s time. And so all is speculation at best. 323
If anyone reading this material has a better grasp of the movements of the trade winds according to their interaction with the oceans and continental land masses, please do contact me as I would be very interested to hear from those of you that may have more knowledgeable opinion on this or any other aspect of the work contained within this book. Enoch 76:5 Seven high mountains I beheld, higher than all the mountains of the earth, from which frost proceeds; while days, seasons, and years depart and pass away. Enoch 76:6 Seven rivers I beheld upon earth, greater than all rivers, one of which takes its course from the west; into a great sea its water flows. Enoch 76:7 Two come from the north to the sea, their waters flowing into the Erythraean sea, on the east. And with respect to the remaining four, they take their course in the cavity of the north, two to their sea, the Erythraean sea, and two are poured into a great sea, where also it is said there is a desert. Enoch 76:8 Seven great islands I saw in the sea and on the earth. Seven in the great sea. Even though most scholars and even translators of the Book of Enoch link the above passages to the Middle Eastern Mediterranean region because 1) this was the region which contained all of the world’s greatest early civilizations 2) it was cradle for modern human development and 3) it was all that Enoch could have known of the world during the time that he lived, I personally believe that these four passages should be considered as visual description for the entire flat 324
circular earth and not just independently connected to the Mediterranean as region. The reason I say this is because as I have shown throughout the chapters of this book, Enoch’s vision of the movements of the sun and moon can only be deciphered when applied to an azimuthal equidistant projection map showing the entire earth spread out before him. And if every other part of the whole rest of the book pertains to the entire earth as a full circular plane, why would any other portion of the text be any different? Why would it suddenly change focus in these four passages and center description on just this particular region of the world, and not remain all-encompassing as description of the entirety of the earth? This doesn’t make sense to me and so therefore I believe these four passages should also be interpreted as description of the entire circular plane of the earth as shown to Enoch by the angel Uriel. And therefore I believe the seven mountains, rivers, and islands to be references to the seven continents of the world even though I do not consider Antarctica to be a continent as depicted by the globe, I do believe that there is considerable land mass associated to its icy barrier.

Chapter 28 - The Two Great Luminaries Enoch Chapter 77 Enoch 77:1 The names of the sun are these: one Aryares, the other Tomas. Enoch 77:2 The moon has four names. The first is Asonya; the second, Ebla; the third, Benase; and the fourth, Erae. Enoch 77:3 These are the two great luminaries, whose orbs are as the orbs of heaven; and the dimensions of both are equal. Here again Enoch cites that both the sun and moon are equal in regards to dimension which I equate to be size. This is reason why the conjunctive moon can fit perfectly across the face of the sun blocking its luminosity completely beyond those rays which emanate past its circular intrusion, making the solar eclipse a spectacular phenomenon to witness.
327
Science claims that the reason that the sun and moon appear to observers upon the earth as approximately the same size is because the sun is 400 times further away from the earth than the moon and at the same time 400 times larger than the moon in diameter, making the solar eclipse possible as alignment. I have shown that one can deduce by mere observation that the sun is nowhere near 92,960,000 miles away from the earth and that what science claims to be proportion for both earth and sun, are backwards in truth. That rather than the sun being immensely larger than the earth, the contrary is true and the earth is actually immensely larger than the sun or the moon. Enoch 77:4 In the orb of the sun there is a seventh portion of light, which is added to it from the moon. By measure it is put in, until the seventh portion of the light of the sun is departed. They set, enter into the western gate, circuit by the north, and through the eastern gate go forth over the face of heaven.
The final chapters of The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries are a reiteration of some of the 328
previous explanations on the motions of the sun and moon as discussed in previous chapters, similar to a concluding paragraph as written by a high school or college student when reaffirming assertions made within the previous body of work. And so Enoch in the last chapters presents again the main concepts cited formerly characterizing the motions of the sun and moon through the 6 gates of heaven. Thus many passages will have their counterpart in earlier chapters which is why Enoch 77:4 is similar in description to 71:8. Enoch 71:8 The sun sets in heaven, and, returning by the north, to proceed towards the east, is conducted so as to enter by that gate, and illuminate the face of heaven. Enoch 77:4 In the orb of the sun there is a seventh portion of light, which is added to it from the moon. By measure it is put in, until the seventh portion of the light of the sun is departed. They set, enter into the western gate, circuit by the north, and through the eastern gate go forth over the face of heaven. The reiterations stand as confirming witness for the prior attestations. Enoch 71:8 is the passage that did not initially make sense to me during my previous studies on The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries and which deterred my further investigations of it. I now know that the reason I could not understand it previously is because I was trying to apply what I thought I knew of the earth’s rotation around the sun to the dynamics that Enoch was describing in these two and other verses.
329
Which if the earth were rotating around the sun and the sun were the center of our solar system as the world believes it is, how could the sun set in the west and then moving north return back to the east as applied to a globe? It can’t unless you understand that what Enoch is describing as the motion of the sun is its circular revolution around the northern arctic regions of the flat earth. There is no other way to make sense of these two passages. As long as one is trying to apply what Enoch is describing to a model of the earth as a globe, one will never be able to understand it. This stands true for the entire Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries. This is why no matter how many times I had read this portion of the text previously, I just could not make sense of it until a few weeks ago when I was led by the Most High to understand the flat earth as concept for world. As I cited in the chapter, ‘Is the Flat Earth Occult Knowledge?’ – “It wasn’t until I was able to embrace the flat earth as reality for model of the world that I was then able to apply understanding of it, to deciphering the riddle of Enoch’s vision as shown to him by the angel Uriel. Applying this world view to his account of the sun moving from east to west and then north to east in circle above the flat earth plane, was the key which unlocked (these two passages) opening up the rest to my newly discovered discernment. I knew immediately that there were probably few that understood this information and that if there were others out there that could make sense of these passages, there probably were not many since contrary to what most people believe, this portion of the text on the dynamics of world and its interactions with the sun and moon can never be conceived by those who believe, as I once had, that we as 330
people live on a spherical or ball Earth which revolves in orbit around the sun.”
Enoch 77:5 When the moon rises, it appears in heaven; and the half of a seventh portion of light is all which is in it. Enoch 77:6 In fourteen days the whole of its light is completed. Enoch 77:7 By three quintuples light is put into it, until in fifteen days its light is completed, according to the signs of the year; it has three quintuples. Enoch 77:8 The moon has the half of a seventh portion. Enoch 77:9 During its diminution on the first day its light decreases a fourteenth part; on the second day it decreases a thirteenth part; on the third day a twelfth part; on the fourth day an eleventh part; on the fifth day a tenth part; on the sixth day a ninth part; on the seventh day it decreases an eighth part; on the eighth day it decreases a seventh part; on the ninth day it 331
decreases a sixth part; on the tenth day it decreases a fifth part; on the eleventh day it decreases a fourth part; on the twelfth day it decreases third part; on the thirteenth day it decreases a second part; on the fourteenth day it decreases a half of its seventh part; and on the fifteenth day the whole remainder of its light is consumed. Enoch 77:10 On stated months the moon has twentynine days. Enoch 77:11 It also has a period of twenty-eight days. Enoch begins the description of the moon’s phases with khodesh when ‘half of a seventh portion of light is all which is in it.’ It increases and decreases its light daily by ‘half of a 1/7th portion’ which in percentages equals .0714285714285714%. In five days it equals .3571425871425871%, in 15 days 1.071425871425871%. Thus the moon ‘accomplishes its light’ after 15 days. But because there is a slight overlap in percentages as the moon daily increases or decreases its light, some months will contain 29 days as it will take the moon 14 more days to reduce the ‘fullness of its light’ reaching complete darkness, while every other month it will accomplish the same with the addition of 15 more days instead of 14. This is why the synodic month equals to 29.531 days, the length of time necessary for it to cycle through all four of its quarterly phases. The lunar months of God’s calendar maintain alignment with this quirky number by excluding khodesh as first Sabbath and day of the lunar month, and 332
then adding a translation day every other month following the four seven day Sabbath weeks. This is also reason why Enoch cites some months as being 28 days in length and others as being 29 days in length. Enoch 77:12 Uriel likewise showed me another regulation, when light is poured into the moon, how it is poured into it from the sun. Enoch 77:13 All the time that the moon is in progress with its light, it is poured into it in the presence of the sun, until its light is in fourteen days completed in heaven. According to Enoch, light is ‘given’ to the moon from the sun, enabling it to transition from conjunctive phase when void of light to being completely full. He refers to this process as ‘completing the whole of its light.’ When deliberating over these statements and speculating over the moon receiving light from the sun, I wonder if Enoch somehow means that the moon is in some way converting the sun’s luminescence to create its own? The reason I question whether this possibility is because moonlight has distinct measurable differences in property which make its luminosity wholly different than that of sunlight. And whereas experiments with the sun’s luminescence have proven it to have beneficial effect upon plants, animals, and human kind, experiments with moonlight have asserted the contrary, proving it somewhat detrimental to the health of living organisms. Also when one focuses sunlight to a narrow point using a magnifying glass, its amplification can increase temperature 333
sparking a flame which can lead to fire. And yet when one does the same with moonlight, experiments have shown that amplification in this manner reduces temperature and in no way can be utilized to start a fire. If the moon were somehow reflecting the sun’s rays, the properties of the light would not change in any manner and there would be no difference in its effect upon plants, animals, and people. These differences make me wonder if Enoch is referencing the moon’s ability to somehow convert the sun’s light into its own, shifting its properties into something wholly new as plants do during the process of photosynthesis. Enoch 77:14 And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it. Enoch 77:15 It becomes precisely completed on the day that the sun descends into the west, while the moon ascends at night from the east. Enoch 77:16 The moon then shines all the night, until the sun rises before it; when the moon disappears in turn before the sun. Enoch again asserts new moon as the first day which following lunar conjunction corresponds to a waxing crescent which is shining by ‘half of a seventh portion’ or at least 7% of its light, the necessary requisite to declare it as khodesh according to the ancient Hebrews. When it is full (completed) the moon will ascend in the east as the sun descends in the west, and moving through the night sets in the morning as the sun rises. 334
Enoch 77:17 Where light comes to the moon, there again it decreases, until all its light is extinguished, and the days of the moon pass away. Enoch 77:18 Then its orb remains solitary without light. Just as the moon became ‘completed’ daily increasing its light by 1/14th portion until becoming full, it will as a waning (decreasing) gibbous moon, in similar manner decrease its light. And whereas during the first half of its monthly cycle it was visible in the skies during the daytime with the sun, in the second half of its monthly cycle, it will no longer be visible during daylight hours but only be seen during the night. Once it reaches 3rd quarter as a waning crescent, the moon will be positioned 6 hours ahead of the sun, rising at midnight, reaching zenith at dawn, and setting at noon. From 3rd quarter to lunar conjunction, it will only be visible during the very late hours of night and early morning. Upon reaching conjunction, ‘remaining solitary without light,’ the moon will all together disappear from view being blotted out by the brightness of the sun’s light. During this phase its mimics the sun’s circuit, rising when it rises, moving as it moves, and setting when it sets. Enoch 77:19 During three months it effects in thirty days each month its period; and during three more months it effects it in twenty-nine days each. These are the times in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, namely, in one hundred and seventy-seven days. 335
The 12 lunar months which comprise God’s calendar system, are patterned after the natural cycle of the moon’s four phases, which is why none of them ever exceeds more than 30 days unlike some months of the Gregorian calendar system. They maintain alignment with the synodic month by alternating bimonthly between 29 and 30 day durations. Adding three 30 day months to the total for three 29 day months equals 90 + 87 = 177, the number of days comprising half a lunar year. Enoch 77:20 And at the time of its going forth during three months it appears thirty days each, and during three more months it appears twenty-nine days each. The same math applies to the other six months of the lunar year, three 30 day months plus three 29 day months equals 90 + 87 = 177, the number of days which comprise each six month segment of ½ a lunar year. Multiplying 177 as total number of days for each half of the lunar year by two, 177 x 2 = 354, the number of days which corresponds to the full lunar year. Enoch 77:21 In the night it appears for each twenty days as the face of a man, and in the day as heaven; for it is nothing else except its light. Enoch Chapter 78 Enoch 78:1 And now, my son Mathusala, I have shown you everything; and the account of every ordinance of the stars of heaven is finished. Enoch 78:2 He showed me every ordinance respecting these, which takes place at all times and in 336
all seasons under every influence, in all years, at the arrival and under the rule of each, during every month and every week. He showed me also the decrease of the moon, which is effected in the sixth gate; for in that sixth gate is its light consumed. Enoch 78:3 From this is the beginning of the month; and its decrease is effected in the sixth gate in its period, until a hundred and seventy-seven days are completed; according to the mode of calculation by weeks, twenty-five weeks and two days. Enoch 78:4 Its period is less that that of the sun, according to the ordinance of the stars, by five days in one half year precisely. Enoch 78:5 When that their visible situation is completed. Such is the appearance and likeness of every luminary, which Uriel, the great angel who conducts them, showed to me. The calculation of a lunar year can be determined by multiplying 29 days by six months and 30 days by six months and then adding these two numbers together. 29 x 6 = 174, 30 x 6 = 180. 174 + 180 = 354 the total number of days of a lunar year. The calculation of a solar year can be determined by multiplying 30 days by 12 months and then adding four days for the two equinoxes and solstices, 30 x 12 = 360 + 4 = 364 the total number of days of a solar year. Subtracting the number of days of a solar year, 364 from the number of days of a lunar year, 354 = 10, the number of days of difference between these two yearly cycles. Dividing the 10 days by ½, for each of the six months = ‘five days in one half year precisely’ which is the number of 337
days that each ½ of the lunar year is less than the total number of days of every ½ of a solar year. 364 coincides as number for the total days it takes the sun to move back and forth through the six gates of heaven which lie between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, while 354 as number corresponds to the total days it takes the moon to pass through the same six gates. The description of these two cycles together constitute the majority of the chapters and verses which detail as account, Enoch’s explanation of the motions of the heavenly luminaries contained within the firmament above the flat circular plane of the earth.

Chapter 29 – The Prophetic Implications of the Book of Enoch Enoch Chapter 79 Enoch 79:1 In those days Uriel answered and said to me, Behold, I have showed you all things, O Enoch; Enoch 79:2 And all things have I revealed to you. You see the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return. Enoch 79:3 In the days of sinners the years shall be shortened. Enoch 79:4 Their seed shall be backward in their prolific soil; and everything done on earth shall be subverted, and disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still. Enoch 79:5 In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withholden. Enoch 79:6 The moon shall change its laws, and not be seen at its proper period. But in those days shall heaven be seen; and barrenness shall take place in the borders of the great chariots in the west. Heaven shall shine more than when illuminated by the orders of light; while many chiefs among the stars of authority shall err, perverting their ways and works.
339
Enoch 79:7 Those shall not appear in their season, who commanded them, and all the classes of the stars shall be shut up against sinners. Enoch 79:8 The thoughts of those who dwell on the earth shall transgress within them; and they shall be perverted in all their ways. Enoch 79:9 They shall transgress, and think themselves gods; while evil shall be multiplied among them. Enoch 79:10 And punishment shall come upon them, so that all of them shall be destroyed. In this chapter Enoch shares a list of specific events which come to pass ‘in the days of sinners’ which I believe align with the many other scriptural references which cited across the full summation of Biblical testimony detail the end of days or last times. These passages like so many others provide insight into what those times would be like for those whom would be alive during them as last generation. Every generation that has ever come into being has wondered about what those days would be like, even the apostles had concern for the circumstances of the end but unlike those alive now or prior, they had chance to ask Yahushua directly what the age leading up to His return would be like. They knew that His second coming would occur at the end of days and accompany His millennial reign restoring all things to order and reinstating to the world a period of peace, prosperity, and righteousness for the elect found worthy to be counted in the salvation of those days. 340
He outlined in response a number of specific events which for students of the gospels are considered to be indicative as signs of where we are and what’s to come. The chapters which share His response are contained within Matthew chapter 24, Mark chapter 13, and Luke chapter 21. Together they reference in grand detail the particular kind of turmoil which will embroil the peoples and nations of the world during those times. These scripture also tell us what can be expected and what kinds of things one can be looking out for in conjunction to the end of days. Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? [4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows. [9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. [10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. [11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. [12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. [13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 341
[14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. [15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) [16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: [17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: [18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. [19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! [20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: [21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. [24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [25] Behold, I have told you before. [26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. [27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 342
[29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. [31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. [32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: [33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. [34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. [35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. [36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. [37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, [39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. - Matthew 24:3-39 343
One can see from this one chapter how aspects of the days of sinners which Enoch was warned about by the angel Uriel thousands of years in advance of Yahushua’s incarnation into flesh, how they align in allusion to what He said would be the state of the world prior to His second coming. What is of particular interest to me is the cryptic statement made in all three gospels concerning knowing the parable of the fig tree. Which He then goes on to describe in blooming, stating that when you see it putting forth its leaves, know that ‘it’ is near even at the doors; and that the generation which would be alive during this occurrence, that this generation would see the fulfillment of all these things. And so the question is what is the ‘fig tree’ and what is the ‘it’ that He refers to which has connection to this fig tree? [8] And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. [9] But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. [10] Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: [11] And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. [12] But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. [13] And it shall turn to you for a testimony. [14] Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 344
[15] For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. [16] And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. [17] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. [18] But there shall not an hair of your head perish. [19] In your patience possess ye your souls. [20] And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. [21] Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. [22] For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. [23] But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. [24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. [25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 345
[28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. [29] And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; [30] When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. [31] So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. [32] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. [33] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. [34] And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. [35] For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. [36] Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. [37] And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. [38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. – Luke 21:8-38 It’s my opinion that this fig-tree must be very significant to the last times since it is accounted to in three major gospels of the authorized canon. What is not included however is this same account but from the perspective of Peter. In it Peter asks Christ to specifically address the parable of the fig-tree which He does. And even though it is the same event it gives us greater explanation which absolutely clarifies what the fig-tree is. 346
And so I do recommend that people read it in its entirety however the portion that I am referring to in connection to the fig tree is referenced as follows: And ye, take ye the likeness thereof (learn a parable) from the fig-tree: so soon as the shoot thereof is come forth and the twigs grown, the end of the world shall come. And I, Peter, answered and said unto him: Interpret unto me concerning the fig-tree, whereby we shall perceive it; for throughout all its days doth the figtree send forth shoots, and every year it bringeth forth its fruit for its master. What then meaneth the parable of the fig-tree? We know it not. And the Master (Lord) answered and said unto me: Understandest thou not that the fig-tree is the house of Israel? Even as a man that planted a figtree in his garden, and it brought forth no fruit. And he sought the fruit thereof many years and when he found it not, he said to the keeper of his garden: Root up this fig-tree that it make not our ground to be unfruitful. And the gardener said unto God: (Suffer us) to rid it of weeds and dig the ground round about it and water it. If then it bear not fruit, we will straightway remove its roots out of the garden and plant another in place of it. Hast thou not understood that the fig-tree is the house of Israel? Verily I say unto thee, when the twigs thereof have sprouted forth in the last days, then shall feigned Christs come and awake expectation saying: I am the Christ, that am now come into the world. And 347
when they (Israel) shall perceive the wickedness of their deeds they shall turn away after them and deny him [whom our fathers did praise], even the first Christ whom they crucified and therein sinned a great sin. But this deceiver is not the Christ. And when they reject him he shall slay with the sword, and there shall be many martyrs. Then shall the twigs of the fig-tree, that is, the house of Israel, shoot forth: many shall become martyrs at his hand. Enoch and Elias shall be sent to teach them that this is the deceiver which must come into the world and do signs and wonders to deceive. And therefore shall they that die by his hand be martyrs, and shall be reckoned among the good and righteous martyrs who have pleased God in their life. – Ethiopic, Apocalypse of Peter This text asserts that the blooming of the fig-tree is symbolic of the regathering and re-establishment of the nation Israel which occurred on May 14, 1948. Those that understood what the blooming of the fig tree was, were able to recognize that since we were alive during the recreation of the nation of Israel, we are considered to be the last generation. And that those which would be born and would be alive during this generation, that we would be the ones to witness both the unveiling of the anti-christ as well as the return of the true Christ. The blooming of the fig tree in 1948, was the most pivotal and long anticipated event to occur within our lifetime. And that with its passing, the next stage was set for the fulfillment of all of the prophecies which have been written specifically for us as last generation.
348
[9] For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. [10] The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. – Psalms 90:9-10 This passage from Psalms establishes a generation as 70-80 years. And even though Israel was reestablished as a nation again May 14th, 1948, the United Nations brought forth the Decree for its creation November 29th, 1947. Adding 70 years to 1947 brings us to 2017 which I believe to be very significant. And though no man knows the time nor the hour for Yahushua’s 2nd coming or the outpouring of the wrath of God for the great and terrible day of the Lord, there is an interesting passage in Revelation which when deciphered points to the significance of this date. [1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: [2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. – Revelation 12:1-2 These two passages when understood reference the alignment of the sun with the constellation Virgo, the moon is beneath her feet, Jupiter below her hips as a child born, and above her head the nine star constellation of Leo with three other planets Mercury, Mars, and Venus in single line. This particular celestial event is predicted by the astronomy program Stellarium to happen in precisely this manner on September 23rd, 2017 which just so happens to be the date 349
for the Feast of Trumpets on the Gregorian calendar that year.
- Virgin Clothed with The sun
-
Crown of 12 Stars
This alignment is specifically important because 1) it unifies the fulfillment of the parable of the fig tree 2) to this celestial event as mentioned in Revelation 12 and 3) also links up to the fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets as harbinger prophesying the fulfillment of the last three fall feasts which occur with the second coming of Yahushua.
350
These three witnesses portend our being the last generation and among those which would be alive to see the fulfillment of all these things. And though we do not know exactly what will happen on that particular day, we are called to recognize the signs associated to the season of the end and those things which are coming as revealed through the prophets. The rebirth of Israel as the fig-tree would signify to those with eyes to see, ears to hear, and a mind to understand that yes truly, we are the last generation and that this generation would be privy to witness the fulfillment of scripture. Last thing, the ‘it’ that is referred to in connection to the fulfillment of the parable of the fig tree, is the judgement which follows Yahushua’s return fulfilling the second fall feast, the day of atonement.

Chapter 30 – The Righteous Wheat and the Wicked Tares Enoch Chapter 80 Enoch 80:1 He said, O Enoch, look on the book which heaven has gradually dropped down; and, reading that which is written in it, understand every part of it. Enoch 80:2 Then I looked on all which was written, and understood all, reading the book and everything written in it, all the works of man; Enoch 80:3 And of all the children of flesh upon earth, during the generations of the world. Enoch 80:4 Immediately after I blessed the Lord, the King of glory, who has thus for ever formed the whole workmanship of the world. Enoch 80:5 And I glorified the Lord, on account of his long-suffering and blessing towards the children of the world. Enoch 80:6 At that time I said, Blessed is the man, who shall die righteous and good, against whom no catalogue of crime has been written, and with whom iniquity is not found. Enoch 80:7 Then those three holy ones caused me to approach, and placed me on the earth, before the door of my house.
353
Enoch 80:8 And they said unto me, Explain everything to Mathusala your son; and inform all your children, that no flesh shall be justified before the Lord; for he is their Creator. Enoch 80:9 During one year we shall leave you with your children, until you shalt again recover your strength, that you may instruct your family, write these things, and explain them to all your children. But in another year they shall take you from the midst of them, and your heart shall be strengthened; for the elect shall point out righteousness to the elect; the righteous with the righteous shall rejoice, congratulating each other; but the sinners with sinners shall die, Enoch 80:10 And the perverted with the perverted shall be drowned. Enoch 80:11 Those likewise who act righteously shall die on account of the works of man, and shall be gathered together on account of the works of the wicked. Enoch 80:12 In those days they finished conversing with me. Enoch 80:13 And I returned to my fellow men, blessing the Lord of worlds. When asked by His angels at the very beginning of the generations of modern humanity, dost thou want us to uproot the tares so as to prevent them from corrupting the wheat? Yahushua answered nay lest while ye gather up the 354
tares ye uproot the wheat also, let both grow together until the time of the end and then He would send out the angels as reapers to gather, separate, and prepare the tares in bundles for burning, but the wheat for preservation in the barn. As teaching both the parable of the sower and the wheat and the tares, metaphorically represent the field as the world and place where the lineages of both Adam and Cain, would be allowed to grow up together until the time of the very end when things are so corrupted, if we as world were left to our own devices, nothing would survive. Thus, the requisite for His return. Yahushua also said of the last times that as in the days of Noe were, so shall it be in the days of the second coming of the son of man. Which when one does research into what the world was like before the flood of Noah’s day, one discovers that during the time of Jared, Enoch’s father four generations prior to the birth of Noah, the sons of God were transformed into human physicality and sent to the earth to assist the world in knowledge of their Creator but rather than continue on in their roles as intermediaries between God and the children of Adam, they instead made a pact to indulge themselves in the lusts of the flesh, and intervening into the affairs of humanity took wives from the daughters of Cain. This led to the propagation of an unnatural race of red and blonde haired, green and blue eyed cannibal giants into world, which the bible references as the men of renown. Their unnatural propagation led to the full and complete corruption of the natural order of creation. By the time of Noah’s day things were so awry, it was necessary for the Most High to destroy all flesh with deluge in order to necessitate beginning all things anew. 355
And straightway there were given unto them with His word flesh, and blood, and a heart of the children of men. And they were content to leave the height of heaven, and they came down to earth, to the folly of the dancing of the children of CAIN with all their work of the artisan, which they had made in the folly of their fornication, and to their singings, which they accompanied with the tambourine, and the flutes, and the pipes, and much shouting, and loud cries of joy and noisy songs. And their daughters were there, and they enjoyed the orgies without shame, for they scented themselves for the men who pleased them, and they lost the balance in their minds. And the men did not restrain themselves for a moment, but they took to wife from among the women those whom they had chosen, and committed sin with them… And the daughters of CAIN with whom the angels had companied conceived, but they were unable to bring forth their children, and they died. And of the children who were in their wombs some died, and some came forth; having split open the bellies of their mothers they came forth by their navels. And when they were grown up and reached man's estate they became giants, whose height reached unto the clouds; and for their sakes and the sakes of sinners the wrath of God became quiet, and He said, "My spirit shall only rest on them for one hundred and twenty years, and I will destroy them with the waters of the Flood," them and all sinners who have not believed the word of God. – Kebra Nagast 100 [1] And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of 356
men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. [3] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. [4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. – Genesis 6:1- 4 VI. And it was when the sons of men began to multiply upon the face of the earth, and fair daughters were born to them; and the sons of the great saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and painted, and curled, walking with revelation of the flesh, and with imaginations of wickedness; that they took them wives of all who pleased them. And the Lord said by His Word, All the generations of the wicked which are to arise shall not be purged after the order of the judgments of the generation of the deluge, which shall be destroyed and exterminated from the midst of the world. Have I not imparted My Holy Spirit to them, (or, placed My Holy Spirit in them,) that they may work good works? And, behold, their works are wicked. Behold, I will give them a prolongment of a hundred and twenty years, that they may work repentance, and not perish. Schamchazai and Uzziel, who fell from heaven, were on the earth in those days; and also, after the sons of the Great had gone in with the daughters of men, they bare to them: and these are they who are called men who are of the world, men of names. And the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the 357
earth, and all the imagery of the thought of his heart was only evil every day. And it repented the Lord in His Word that He had made man upon the earth; and He passed judgment upon them by His Word. And the Lord said, I will abolish by My Word man, whom I have created upon the face of the earth, from man to cattle, to the reptile, and to the fowl of the heavens; because I have repented in My Word that I have made them. But Noah, because he was righteous in his generation, found favour and mercy before the Lord. - Palestinian Targum Genesis 6 For owing to these three things came the flood upon the earth, namely, owing to the fornication wherein the Watchers against the law of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took themselves wives of all which they chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness. – The Book of Jubilees 7:21 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children. Then their leader Samyaza said to them; I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise; And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime. But they answered him and said; We all swear; And bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking. 358
Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, which is the top of mount Armon. That mountain therefore was called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, and bound themselves by mutual execrations. These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. And the women conceiving brought forth giants, Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them; When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them; And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood. Then the earth reproved the unrighteous. – The Book of Enoch 7:1-15 The birth of giants upon the world stage, led to the miscegenation cited in the Book of Giants. Only Noah, remained pure in his generations as most of the other sons of Adam had also gone the way of Cain. Following the judgement which would wipe out all flesh, Noah whose name means respite, and the seven members of his immediate family (wife, three sons Shem, Japheth, Ham and their wives) would be given a chance to reestablish 359
humanity without the uncertain pressure of being overrun by the destructive influence of the cannibal giants which had desecrated world. And the angel said to me, “Rightly you ask me. When God made the flood upon the earth, he drowned every firstling, and he destroyed 104 thousand giants, and the water rose above the mountains 20 cubits above the mountains, and the water entered into the garden, bringing out one shoot from the vine as God withdrew the waters. – Baruch 3:10, Slavonic And the angel said, “Rightly you ask: when God caused the Flood over the earth and destroyed all flesh and 409,000 giants, and the water rose over the heights 15 cubits, the water entered Paradise and killed every flower, but it removed the sprig of the vine completely and brought it outside.” Baruch 4, Greek For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation. - Wisdom of Solomon 14:6 And as strange as this story sounds, it seems to be the foundation for the weirdness we find repeated worldwide from countless generations of myriads of people, many of whom repeat the same tale without ever having met or come in contact with one another. Whether or not one is open to embracing this story as possibility, the Biblical reality is that it seems to align with the strange nature of what we are dealing with as world. 360
Jude, Peter, Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, and many other texts, all detail the mayhem which followed the esoteric fall of the 200 watcher angels. [6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. [7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. - Jude 1:6-7 [4] For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; [5] And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; [6] And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; [7] And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: [8] (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) [9] The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: [10] But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. – II Peter 2:4-10
361
And so Yahushua’s statement in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 of ‘But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be’ is a warning that the judgement which occurred during the time of Noah in Enoch’s day, that these very strange times are coming again and that we may see with them, the return of the fallen angels and giants upon the world stage; threatening again the natural order of the world which as story just so happens to align with the words of Stan Deyo, released in a 2011 interview. For those that have never heard of Stan Deyo, he is the author of The Cosmic Conspiracy and The Vindicator Scrolls. He once held Above Top Secret Security Clearance, while working undercover for the FBI on "flying saucer technology” headed by Dr. Edward Teller. Stan Deyo: “A number of things that…uh… I’ve heard uh…from people in the Pentagon, that the buzz word in the secret of secrets in the Pentagon is ‘The Sumerian gods are returning.’ And that’s what they’re referring to, that whole area that Dr. Peters (unclear) is...” Male Interviewer: Wow! Female Interviewer: Could you repeat that again just in case somebody missed it? The special word that… Deyo: In the Pentagon, you know the military circles that are in the know about the cover-up here; um… they kind of, in whisper tones, talk about the return of the Sumerian gods. And they’re talking about what we would call Aliens or Fallen Angels returning into the Middle East, into the old Sumer area.” Male Interviewer: The Annunaki. Deyo: Yeah, it could be. 362
The previous days of Noah were so filled with corruption that the Most High had to send a flood down upon the entire world as means to wipe out all flesh corrupted by the aberrant entrance of the watchers and birth of their giant progeny here upon the earth. Yahushua’s second coming as fulfillment of the fall feasts, would portend the final battle between the forces of light and darkness before the last judgment and destruction of the world by fire, ending again the reign of evil in the world.

Chapter 31 - The Flat Earth’s Connection to God’s Calendar And while this book is focused specifically on The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, if one does find the story of the fallen watchers and creation of their cannibal giant children interesting, I would most certainly recommend that one read the entire Book of Enoch. Not only is it a fantastic read but in my opinion, it contains more detail which enables one to comprehend the fall of the 200 watcher angels and birth of the giant men of renown than do most other texts. As the last generation we are those which Enoch references as having written his books for. From them I heard all things, and understood what I saw; that which will not take place in this generation, but in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period, on account of the elect. - Book of Enoch 1:2 Let us now conclude with the final portion of The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries. Enoch Chapter 81 Enoch 81:1 Now, my son Mathusala, all these things I speak unto you, and write for you. To you I have revealed all, and have given you books of everything. Enoch 81:2 Preserve, my son Mathusala, the books written by your father; that you may reveal them to future generations. Enoch 81:3 Wisdom have I given you, to your children, and your posterity, that they may reveal to their children, for generations for ever, this wisdom 365
in their thoughts; and that those who comprehend it may not slumber, but hear with their ears; that they may learn this wisdom, and be deemed worthy of eating this wholesome food. Enoch 81:4 Blessed are all the righteous; blessed are all who walk in righteousness; in whom no crime is found, as in sinners, when all their days are numbered. Enoch 81:5 With respect to the progress of the sun in heaven, it enters and goes out of each gate for thirty days, with the leaders of the thousand classes of the stars; with four which are added, and appertain to the four quarters of the year, which conduct them, and accompany them at four periods. Enoch 81:6 Respecting these, men greatly err, and do not calculate them in the calculation of every age; for they greatly err respecting them; nor do men know accurately that they are in the calculation of the year. But indeed these are marked down for ever; one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth: Enoch 81:7 So that the year is completed in three hundred and sixty-four days. Enoch 81:8 Truly has been stated, and accurately has been calculated that which is marked down; for the luminaries, the months, the fixed periods, the years, and the days, Uriel has explained to me, and communicated to me; whom the Lord of all creation, on my account, commanded (according to the might 366
of heaven, and the power which it possesses both by night and by day) to explain the laws of light to man, of the sun, moon, and stars, and of all the powers of heaven, which are turned with their respective orbs. Called the great luminary, the sun is the leader of all the luminaries of heaven. Its motion through the firmament establishes the division of day and night establishing the basic unit of measure utilized to determine the other units of measure – the weeks, months, and years. Its cycles through the various gates of heaven together with the movement of the constellations comprising the zodiac around the fixed star Polaris, signify exactly what day, week, month and season it is at any given time of the year. The twelve months which comprise the solar year are quartered by the equinoxes and solstices which as day, highlight the changing of the seasons from one into the other according to God’s calendar. These four days are listed as follows - The winter solstice as longest night of the year occurs when the sun descends through the first gate reaching the Tropic of Capricorn. The vernal equinox occurs when the sun rises through the third gate reaching the equator. The autumnal equinox occurs when the sun descends through the fourth gate reaching the equator. The summer solstice as longest day of the year, occurs when the sun rises through the sixth gate reaching the Tropic of Cancer. Being especially significant to the Most High, the two equinoxes and solstices mark the appointed times which designate the beginning and transition of one season into another.
367
Adding the four equinox and solstice days to the 30 days it takes the sun to travel back and forth through each of the six gates of heaven, 30 x 6 = 180 x 2 + 4 = the 364 days, which as number equals all together the completion of one cycle of a full solar year according to the Book of Enoch. Enoch 81:9 This is the ordinance of the stars, which set in their places, in their seasons, in their periods, in their days, and in their months. Enoch 81:10 These are the names of the those who conduct them, who watch and enter in their seasons, according to their ordinance in their periods, in their months, in the times of their influence, and in their stations. Enoch 81:11 Four conductors of them first enter, who separate the four quarters of the year. After these, twelve conductors of their classes, who separate the months and the year into three hundred and sixty-four days, with the leaders of a thousand, who distinguish between the days, as well as between the four additional ones; which, as conductors, divide the four quarters of the year. The ‘Four conductors’ which specifically ‘separate the four quarters of the year’ are titles associated to specific stars within the 4 constellations Aries, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius which aligning with the equinoxes and solstices, equally divide the seasons into the 12 lunar months and 364 days of the solar year. The ‘twelve conductors of their classes’ are titles given to the stars which comprise as alignment the constellations which are specific to the 12 houses of the zodiac. The ‘leaders of a thousand’ are titles 368
given to the stars and constellations which designate as alignment the 1° of daily motion associated to the movement of the 12 houses of the zodiac around the fixed star Polaris. The conductors of each these groups designate the passing of a certain amount of time which in these 3 specific cases represent a 91 day season, the 12 months, and 24 hour days of the solar year.
If one were able to see the stars as backdrop through the brilliance of the sun’s daily rising, one would see behind it, a particular house of the zodiac indicated by the 1° shift that they incrementally processes through over the course of the solar year. And even though most people believe this movement to be caused by the earth’s orbit around the sun, it is the movement of the houses of the zodiac around the fixed star Polaris which creates the specific association of a particular house to a particular time of year, associating a certain birth date to a specific sign. 369
Enoch 81:12 These leaders of a thousand are in the midst of the conductors, and the conductors are added each behind his station, and their conductors make the separation. These are the names of the conductors, who separate the four quarters of the year, who are appointed over them: Melkel, Helammelak, Enoch 81:13 Meliyal, and Narel. Enoch 81:14 And the names of those who conduct them are Adnarel, Jyasusal, and Jyelumeal.
370
Enoch 81:15 These are the three who follow after the conductors of the classes of stars; each following after the three conductors of the classes, which themselves follow after those conductors of the stations, who divide the four quarters of the year. The four stars which correspond to the quarterly division of the year are cited by Enoch as Melkel, Helammelak, Meliyal, and Narel. I assume that these terms are ancient names which were once associated to four of the principal stars denominated by the constellations Aries, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius since they as zodiacal signs correspond to the unfolding dates of vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and winter solstice as they would have appeared in the heavens thousands of years ago while Enoch was alive. And Enoch 81:16 In the first part of the year rises and rules Melkyas, who is named Tamani, and Zahay. Enoch 81:17 All the days of his influence, during which he rules, are ninety-one days. Enoch 81:18 And these are the signs of the days which are seen upon the earth. In the days of his influence there is perspiration, heat, and trouble. All the trees become fruitful; the leaf of every tree comes forth; the corn is reaped; the rose and every species of flowers blossoms in the field; and the trees of winter are dried up. Enoch 81:19 These are the names of the conductors who are under them: Barkel, Zelsabel; and another additional conductor of a thousand is named 371
Heloyalef, the days of those influence have been completed. Melkyas, Tamani, and Zahay are all I believe ancient terms for the sun, but Barkel, Zelsabel, and Heloyalef are ancient terms which I believe had to of been associated to a particular star within or as constellation as a whole, references the signs of Aries, Taurus, and Gemini since these are the three specific houses of the zodiac linked to the three months of spring which comprise this particular 91 day season of the solar year, as detailed by the above references which as duration are linked to the unfolding of all the events listed in those passages. The other conductor next after them is Helemmelek, whose name they call the splendid Zahay. Enoch 81:20 All the days of his light are ninety-one days. Enoch 81:21 These are the signs of the days upon earth, heat and drought; while the trees bring forth their fruits, warmed and concocted, and give their fruits to dry. Enoch 81:22 The flocks follow and yean. All the fruits of the earth are collected, with everything in the fields, and the vines are trodden. This takes place during the time of his influence. Enoch 81:23 These are their names and orders, and the names of the conductors who are under them, of those who are chiefs of a thousand: Gedaeyal, Keel, Heel. 372
Enoch 81:24 And the name of the additional leader of a thousand is Asphael. Enoch 81:25 The days of his influence have been completed. Gedaeyal, Keel, and Heel are all ancient terms which I believe had to of been associated to a particular star within or as constellation as a whole, references the signs of Cancer, Leo, and Virgo since these are the three specific houses of the zodiac linked to the three months of summer which comprise this particular 91 day season of the solar year, as detailed by the above references which as duration are linked to the unfolding of all the events listed in those passages.
In Conclusion: If we can be so easily deceived into denying what we daily observe with our own eyes such as the sun and moon being of the same size, their moving clockwise above the stationary earth, the sun being closer than 91-93,000,000 miles away from the earth, the earth being of larger proportion than any of the heavenly luminaries, the horizon being flat, then what else are we conceding in order to accept the professional opinions of illuminated science? I believe that over the course of this book I have established that we as humanity, do not inhabit a planet which as part of a ‘solar system’ spins once daily as it annually orbits around the sun, but instead live on a fixed, immovable, and stationary plane. Learning about these kinds of things, has made me wonder about what else we have ignorantly acclimated as foundational truth for personal belief which 373
having no basis in reality is nothing more than mere fabrication. If we cannot trust what science declares to us as model for where we live, how we were created, or as they put it, how we ‘evolved’ as humanity, what else must we reassess when it comes to information we’ve so nonchalantly accepted as unquestioned truth? How much of what we believe to be reality actually is? I feel that these are just some of the things that all of us need to reevaluate in life as they relate to the question of who can one trust to get meaningful answers about who we are, where we are, and how things really are. NASA as a component of the scientific establishment and both the educational and free press system which caters to much of their contrived assumptions, have all proven that they cannot be trusted, that they will purposely lie to establish as premise support for their Darwinian heliocentric worldview. In a world where everything is based on lies, and no person or establishment can be trusted for answer, guidance, and/or direction to all of the larger questions for our being right here right now, who can one turn to for explanation which will help one to resolve the quandaries riddling mind, spirit, and being? For me personally the answer has been and will continue to be the gospel as prophetic word including more than just the authorized canon. For those that know little about my personal testimony it has not always been this way, let me share with you in quick synopsis my story. By the time that I was 16 years of age, I had already rejected the bible and Christianity as having any links to truth but having an innate drive within me, a want to understand the creation and the Creator, I began looking into and reading many of the books which were then being 374
released that had ties to the new age movement which in 1988 when I was 18 years old was just kicking off. It was during this time that I began to study books like Genesis Revisited, The 12th Planet, and Stairway To Heaven by Zecharia Sitchen; The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, A Separate Reality, Journey To Ixtlan, and Tales of Power by Carlos Castaneda; Bringers of the Dawn by Barbara Marciniak; Be Here Now by Ram Dass; along with many others books which covered as topic the wide spectrum of new age occultism, mysticism, and my then personal favorite Native American shamanism. In the late eighties a flood of new material had just began entering into the consciousness of the world and I was during that decade on the forefront of learning all of those things, before being brought back full circle to the revelation of truth contained within the bible and other extra canonical Biblical texts. And even though I had first read the Book of Enoch when just 18 years old, it wasn’t until I was 24 that I began reading the King James Version of the authorized canon. And because I had never really studied the Biblical accounts to any great length or in any profound manner, I held no judgment or bias to what I was reading and found that the depth of the stories were provocatively and intriguingly new to me. I remember the first time I came across Genesis six on the sons of God mating with the daughters of man, I was like wait a second what’d I just read? This story piqued my interest on the topics of fallen angels and giants, and bringing to mind remembrance of the Book of Enoch, I began my study into this area of Biblical history. It was then that I decided to read the entire King James Version of the bible from cover to cover as well as any of the extra 375
canonical texts which because of the rise of the Internet were now easily available. Soon I discovered that the Biblical material which particularly interested me, was nothing like what I had remembered learning from Sunday school or knew of what was being taught in mainstream churches. This lead to extensive note-keeping and further in depth research on topics I had more questions than answers about such as the war in heaven, rebellion of angels, the prior times, pre-Adamic history, ophiolatry, the nachash, Cain being a child of the devil, enmity between the two seeds, the fallen angels, watchers, Nephilim, sons of God, giants, rephaim, preexistence, election, and predestination to name a few. These were things that I did not hear others talking much about in Biblical commentary. It wasn’t until the launch of blogtalkradio.com in 2006, that such topics came to the forefront of talk radio shows as this website made it easy for many researchers to start hosting their own programs and discussion of such topics began to flourish. Wanting answers I began to call in to some of the shows which were established with similar interest in mind. It wasn’t long thereafter that various hosts began requesting me for interview, inviting me to come onto their broadcasts to discuss the things that I had learned in relation to these topics. My first serious interview along these lines took place in September of 2006 on the show the Cursed-net, hosted by Byron Labeau. It went so well that in 2008, I decided to start my own broadcast and to my surprise after a little while, I developed an audience of faithful listeners. Soon many of them were asking me to share in email the research that I had done or to make available my studies in book form, so that they could use it supplement their own research. 376
Eventually I did just that and turning my notes into books, have been releasing them as such ever since. Over the years, I have come to develop personal relationship with the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit which has led me to answer on many of the things that not many others were able to make sense of. And wanting nothing more than to be of service to humanity and the Most High, I have continued on this path publishing books and doing broadcasts twice a week on both blogtalkradio.com and Revolution Radio at freedomslips.com. Making myself available in this capacity, I believe that the Most High has been using me ever since, as a vessel for the disclosure of information and revelation which one does not usually find amongst the traditional teachings of mainstream Christianity. This my ninth book I believe to be a continuance of that legacy. For those that are now where I had once been, whom having never dedicated any amount of time to the study of the gospel, may have at some point in the distant past decided to reject Christianity as I did so long ago believing it all fairy tale or contrived by a group of conspiring Illuminists as way to conform the masses for easy control, I hope that this book has inspired you to perhaps look again at the Biblical and extra-Biblical teachings with unconditional bias and open mind. It’s my belief that the Most High wants us as world to recognize the authority of truth contained within the teachings of our Hebraic forefathers and that if one were to investigate the scriptures with impartial mind, one might be surprised at the discovery of what was for me an entirely new world of answers which one might not have been previously ready for. 377
I was initially shocked to find that the scriptures contained detailed answer pertinent to many topics and questions which a lot of people of late have been interested in such as who created the megalithic structures which are aligned to distance star systems found worldwide at a time when science claims that humanity were nothing more than hunter and gatherers? Why ancient cultures and civilizations worldwide worshipped feathered serpents? Why many of them claim that their kings and rulers are descendants of dragons that descended from the sky? Why there is a pervasive amount of mythology found worldwide in connection to red haired, six fingered, and six toed cannibal giants? Why so many out of place artifacts are and have been discovered world-wide which could not have been produced by pre-Adamic humans? These are just some of the fascinating answers contained within the scriptures which can lead one to the rediscovery of copial amounts of lost and forbidden ancestral knowledge. These answers also lead one to conclusion that rather than humanity being the consequence of some random evolutionary perchance happening or end result of some genetic alien (fallen angel) ape man experiment or pre-adamic crossbreeding, we were specially made in the image of God and sharing special covenant with Him are, were, and have been gifted with the amazing chance to inhabit an equally magnificent place of residence. And that rather than the earth being some cosmological random process of accretion, it is instead the culmination of the Creator’s design to establish existence within this universal world. The earth reflects the special covenant and bond that as humanity we share with it and our Creator. 378
And even though this book focuses on how knowledge of the flat earth can be used as key to decrypt The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, I always seek to instill to reader that there are many other secrets contained within the Biblical narrative, other than just the one’s I have written about in this and my many other books. It’s my belief that many like myself have been called to encourage others to look again with renewed eyes at the prophetic word, so that in fellowship together we can gain insight into the many secrets which are being brought to light now as we approach the end of days. God said in these times that His spirit would be poured out on all flesh and that those things which had been formerly hidden would come to light again. Along with the surge in the availability of knowledge worldwide, there is accompanied with it accountability. This is causing division among people forcing all to decide whether they are to be counted among the righteous wheat or wicked tares. Jesus saith, many of you think that I have come to establish peace upon the earth. I will not bring peace but dissension, fire, sword, and war. Families will be divided because of me, friends shall cease from one another, nations shall join in battle. Yea, those who would follow me must be willing to forsake all and to stand alone if they would inherit the kingdom of my Father. – The Sayings of Jesus 8 [16] And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. [17] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. – Luke 21:16-17 379
[40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [42] Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. [43] But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. [44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. [45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? [46] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. [47] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. [48] But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; [49] And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; [50] The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, [51] And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. – Matthew 24:40-50 Our being the generation alive when all truth is revealed, people today are being confronted in every way with the opportunity to ignore or awaken to it. And even though there is this great awakening taking place, truth is still a rare asset which like a diamond in the rough is hidden as jewel among the prevalence of lies which everywhere cover, distort, dismantle, and intrude upon it. 380
I find the matrix of deceit so pervasive that what most people believe to be truth, is actually woven as strand into a carefully crafted web of deceit so cunning it has convinced most people to accept its mirage as replacement for truth. This being the situation of the world today, I find that many reject truth even when confronted with it simply because they are comfortable with deceit and do not like anything that challenges or contradicts their foundational belief systems even when it is truth. I also find that most people being comfortable in the safety and convenience of routine, will hold onto to deceit even when it benefits them to change in accepting truth. Many will even embrace false illusions so long as either it is majority opinion, or someone they look up to or admire supports similarly the way that they think. Few are truly willing to embrace change, and even fewer have any real concern for truth. As such most will not even put forth the least bit of effort to discovering or uncovering it. And even when confronted with it, most have tendency to lash out immediately against anything or anyone that challenges what they think they already know. People do not like to be told that they have been bamboozled especially by those systems that they have invested trust within. Thus, my belief that even though truth is everywhere coming forward to those that seek it, most will and do regard it as meaningless especially when it does not affect them directly having no bearing upon their personal or family life.
381
This is why things mostly go on as they have for so long and why even when there is an event which occurs that could completely turn peoples understanding of world upside down, causing within their mindset an absolute paradigm shift with regard to truth (such as the events in connection to 9/11), most will remain oblivious to them. I feel like the flat earth as topic of study is like the events of 9/11 forcing an awakening upon humanity which as revelation has the paradigm shifting capacity to turn one’s world upside down or in this case to make it flat. And though most consider it to be a topic unworthy of introspection, I believe it to be critically relevant to who we are and where we think we are, as it also forces one to reassess all that one thought they knew. Admittedly, I thought the pursuit of this knowledge ludicrous when first asked by many of my listeners to look into it. I thought then, why would I waste my time studying about an issue which had been settled hundreds of years earlier by some of the greatest historical minds? Had I remained vigilant in my opposition to it, I would never have been lead to the revelation of this book. And even though I’m sure that many of you thought about this topic in similar regard when first approached with it by family or friend, my hope is that you will now consider it in new light. And that in the least you have learned as did I, that maybe we do not know everything we think or thought we knew all along, and that just maybe what we think we know now, in no way aligns with the reality of what is and has been going on in world.
382
Perhaps some of you even share with me the same sentiments with respect to the Levitical feast days and festivals especially now that you know that Yahushua’s first coming fulfilled four of the seven holy days and that His next coming will fulfill the remaining three. I believe that as seekers of truth some of you will be willing to go the distance in learning about and opening yourself to the possibilities of the things that I have shared within this book, and at least now you know how Sabbath aligns with the ancient Hebrew calendar system as well as how the flat earth connects to the Book of Enoch. My hope is that with such understanding, you can now comprehend how the flat earth relates to salvation and why it as topic is a worthy of study even in this day and age, when so many critical events are daily occurring. This is why I believe that the revelation that we live on a flat circular plane important as evidentiary truth, since it attests to the fact that people should not just simply accept those things which we as children have been indoctrinated into and told by world were true, no matter what they may be especially when they contradict the Biblical account. God bless all of you in your seeking. I hope this endeavor has touched your life in the way that it did mine in learning all the things that I did in writing it. The seekers of lost paradise may seem as if they are fools to those whom have never sought the other worlds. – Jim Morrison

Chapter 32 - Flat Earth Poems Tin Foil Hat Society - Flat Earth Chronicles 5/27/15 I have recently been forced to conceptualize the notion of conspiracy in such monumental proportion it eclipses in its all-encompassing shadow all other mind blowing universe altering revelation as far as effectual truth and what they mean for world Having studied astronomy as my science in college I believed myself to have had better grasp of heavenly motion than most and yet my knowledge on the interaction of the earth with the other objects of our solar and universal system has been diffused in such way I am left in quandary that makes me unable to entertain other focus And though I am far from resolving its deeply profound riddle as possibility it has nevertheless shattered my foundational truth of what I believed to be astronomical mechanics for the motion formulation structure and construct of celestial entities comprising both planetary and star system Similar to the day after I awoke to the conspiracy of 9/11 and government sponsored terror I am now in need of model which would sufficiently replace in explanation 385
my observation and imagination of how things daily unfold around me as world Like my cats when I moved them to new residence having disrupted all they knew as house and living space since their entrance into world as kittens I too am now exploring new boundary and limitation in hopes of making sense of the conundrum of who and where I think I am as self located within world
386
Geocentric World-view I am perceiving the creation with renewed conviction deliberating over whether I’d been taught a misnomer of lies the likes of which had formerly entrenched me in belief that we as humanity inhabit a spherical earth comparable to every globe sitting atop a teachers’ desk As inheritors of the grand matrix we are indoctrinated as children into speculative assumptions I have only recently learned were based upon a carefully crafted web of deceit so all consuming our postulation of living upon a spherical planet truly unwarranted Awakening makes one question everything thought relevant all that one had once so innocently accepted in assurance as evidentiary truth All must be reassessed upon the certainty that there is no absolute truth especially when one evaluates the preponderance of lies emblazoned onto our unquestioned resolve as clean child mind slate And so once again I find myself in that zone of Nihilist persuasion reality shattered and manifest knowing shaken to core deliberating over what I thought seminal truth 387
The mother of all conspiracies challenging one’s conviction of who and where we thought we were as people The most foundational belief underlying structure to life upon the ‘blue marble’ with angelic sun as its vibrant diamond center Science informs us that planetary accretion happens when primordially ejected bodies are ‘spit out’ from the core of stars and that the earth began as cosmological debris which gravitationally attracting enough mass assumed orbit as planet around a topaz sun which also spinning counterclockwise in similarly rotating system is itself contained in orbit around some grand universal center A theoretical black hole they assert in presumption of such immense attraction even light cannot escape it’s destroying grasp Have I have we all been held hostage to some secret societal freemasonic accord a deception so colossal so pervasive only those in the know understand our collective situation Do the ‘global’ elite celebrate the achievement of ‘planetary’ domination flaunting insider privilege 388
by hoisting flag over and in front of the United Nations building as throne of New World Order which depicts the flat earth as it really is holding all nations in singular circular embrace
389
Copious Deceit The powers that be in propaganda effort have been attempting to convince humanity that we evolved of apes and that our existence is largely based upon chaos driven luck and random perchance happening That there is no special significance to our formation and that we share no exclusive covenant with either Creator or world That the only remarkable thing about humanity is that we happen to dwell upon a ‘planet’ whose distance is perfectly extent from solar center so as to entrench our orbital position steadfast to the goldilocks zone making us benefactors of impossible odds The ramification of which as chance would have it grants earth the ability to house the multiplicity of life found here now as we’ve come to know it The twist according to godless atheistic professionals from a wide-spectrum of scientific background all backed by PH.D degrees as worthless as the Illuminati currency which affords them status to levy professional opinion 390
Is that humanity was seeded not because of some Grand Arbiter or almighty omniscient Designer but as result of the subjective influence of alien representatives from the galactic federation of light The ‘missing link’ being not some long sought for apelike cousin but the incursion of antediluvian gods said to be the progenitors of progressive culture architect of megalithic empires world-wide So far advanced is the Darwinian heliocentric worldview the strong delusion is set to assail those of world readily willing to bow down to the Nephilim gods
391
Forward Until Dawn Laboring for your liberty singing secrets freely to those whom would lend ear Sharing truth is sacred duty obligation we should assume without expectation of tribute or need of reward We must give without restriction goading others to remembrance in seeking catalyst to their own soul’s awakening purpose and revelation Beware of ciphers dressed in partial truth decorated in luxuriance and sold for profit as candy to the masses The matrix which enslaves world is secretly controlled Most are unaware of the razor wire double bolted steel doors or bar lined windows indoctrinated to mind which veiled from periphery cage all to the hidden remand of uncertain bondage 392
The overseers of this hidden prison celebrate the fostering of its subtle imposition foisting the illusion of freedom while at the same time granting access to excess and pleasure Just trying to survive within the dichotomy of false liberation captives are negligent of their inconspicuous quarantine Those revealing the subjective incarceration of matrix to others if not assassinated by enforcers are designated psychotic reputations quickly dismantled respect annihilated by the curators in charge of asylum regulating the cuckoos nest holding all victim to charade Unknowingly pledged to betray loved ones children parents and self most are complicit in their own decimation and that of family vaccinating past and future generations The Lord of this world wears all masks presenting himself benevolent to those who cannot make sense nor decipher the depth of the illusion 393
I whisper to them who would attend this way to paradise those of you seeking willing to digress desiring truth freedom remembrance compliant to sacrifice self on the altar of Christ even at the expense of this world

I pray daily, Yahushuah come quickly yesterday even as so many are struggling so much just to maintain. We know that we cannot do this alone and that it’s not going to be some Ancient Alien space brother from somewhere or even ourselves that saves us from those things that are coming upon the earth, which according to Your word, will make men’s hearts fail them. We need You and hold on to the promise that You exampled to all of us through prophecy and parable as dictated by the prophets and apostles of old. King of kings, Lord of lords, we believe in You fully and hold to Your majesty with all humbled grace. May we be worthy of the salvation You so desire to deliver to us. May we be counted among the elect worthy enough to escape the wrath to be poured out on those not written into the Books of Life. In Your name and the Fathers name I pray with all sincerity of Heart, on my knees before You in tears, and thanksgiving for all life and being. Praise You Lord only You are worthy of such honor.

For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I wanted to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while; in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it. —Don Juan Matus 398
