A Restored Divine Order

"Time is a measure of the pathway back to Eden." (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:65)

The Enochian Calendar is a solar-based system of timekeeping, restored from ancient texts including the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees. Its purpose is to align the lives of the righteous with a divine order of the Shamayim (Heavens), moving away from the traditions and calendars of men. As stated in The Book of Remembrance of Enoch, Adahiel is the leader of the Qodesh Angels (Eeerkodeshoi) who teaches about "Enoch's Calendar," emphasizing "Loyalty & Remembrance." This calendar is a tool for just that—remembering the appointed times and remaining loyal to the covenants of YAHUAH (Anokeesed - the Great I AM Lovingkindness).

It is a perfect and perpetual calendar, designed to be unchanging and consistent, reflecting the order of heaven. The structure of the calendar is not arbitrary; it is a revealed pattern for marking days, weeks, seasons, and appointed feasts.

Core Principles of the Calendar

"And the righteous should arise each day with rejoicing for the gift of a new day. And each day must be seen to be an exciting new opportunity to walk with their Father and to love one another and to enjoy the life which they have been given. And the division of days is established to give order and purpose to your gift of life upon the earth. And when the wicked pervert the division of days they know it not but they are excluding themselves from the power of living life. And in this way the division of the days of man will protect the righteous and leave the wicked without the means of enduring to find fulfillment and they will seek endlessly for that which they cannot obtain. But to the righteous the division of days is an element of righteousness to cause bonding with their Father and moments of refreshing in the midst of creation." (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:73-74)

"And now my son you must divide the days of man according to this manner: The rising sun must be the beginning of your day. But the setting sun begins the day for those who work in darkness. And the course of the sun is to guide you in all matters of the division of days." (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:81)

A Perfect Solar Year

The calendar is based on a 364-day solar cycle. This is a key distinction from lunar or luni-solar calendars, which can vary in length. The 364 days are perfectly divisible by 7, meaning each year consists of exactly 52 weeks. This ensures that dates, feasts, and Sabbaths fall on the same day of the week every single year, creating a perpetual and predictable cycle. The Structure of the Year

The 364 days are organized as follows:

Four Seasons: The year is divided into four equal seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
91 Days Per Season: Each season consists of exactly 91 days.
13 Weeks Per Season: With 91 days, each season is made up of exactly 13 weeks.

"Now then I say to you that beginning with the first day of the season of renewal which you have named Chadashel you shall mark the first day of the year. And there shall be four seasons. And a season shall have thirteen weeks. And a week shall have seven days to mark the seven days of creation." (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:62)

The Beginning of the Year

New Year's Day is the day of the Spring Equinox. This day is always the 4th day of the week.

"The first day of the year shall fall on the fourth day of the week. " (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:63)

The Seasons & Their Markers The four seasons are the pillars of the year, and their transitions are marked by four cardinal days: the two equinoxes and the two solstices. These are described in the Book of Enoch as "days of remembrance."

"Each season shall begin on the fourth day of the week And it shall have a day at the end for a purification day and it shall be a day of the week. And you are to use this day to prepare to receive the gift and blessing of the next season." (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:83)

Spring: Begins on Day 1 (Spring Equinox).
Summer: Begins on Day 92 (Summer Solstice).
Autumn: Begins on Day 183 (Autumn Equinox).
Winter: Begins on Day 274 (Winter Solstice).

Each season is presided over by a leader of the Qodesh Angels (Eerkodeshoi)

Springtime: Chadashel, who teaches Confidence.
Summer: Osheral, who teaches Happiness.
Fall: Gavahel, who teaches Respect.
Winter: Shabethiel, who teaches Kindness.

The Week

The week consists of seven days. The first Sabbath of the year falls on the 7th day of the week, which comes three days after the 4th-day New Year. From then on, every seventh day is a weekly Sabbath.

"The weeks of the year shall have seven days to acknowledge the creating love of Anokeesed which He accomplished in six days. And the seventh day of each week shall be a day of rest which is called the Sabbath." (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:82)

The Set-Apart Sabbath

The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week and is a holy day of rest, spiritual reflection, and community gathering. As detailed in the Book of Jubilees (Chapter 50), the Sabbath is to be strictly observed. It is a day to cease from all labor, including travel, tilling, lighting a fire, or making war. It is a time to remember the covenants and focus on fellowship and spiritual matters. On the Enochian calendar, every 7th day, starting from Day 4 of the new year, is a Sabbath.

"And you shall honor Him and rejoice together with Him and be diligent to gently guide one another on each weekly Sabbath And you shall rest from all of your labors on the Sabbath just as my Father rested on the seventh day in His task to bring His love for you to be infinite." (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:86)

The Appointed Feasts & Celebrations Seven major feasts are observed throughout the year. They are set at 50-day intervals, creating a rhythm of worship and remembrance.

Intercalary Days: The Days Outside the Count

To account for the true solar year being approximately 365.25 days, two special days are inserted into the calendar that are however not counted as days of the week:

"And at the end of every year you shall cause a day to be for Anokeesed. And it shall not be a day of the week but it shall be a day of the year only And in like manner every fourth year you shall observe an additional extra day after the day of my Father and it shall be a day for me." (Book of Remembrance of Enoch 13:84)

Anokeesed's Day: This is the 365th day of the year. It occurs in the last week of the year, between the 3rd and 4th day of that week. It is a special day set apart to honor YAHUAH and does not count as one of the seven days of the week, thus preserving the perfect 52-week cycle.
Motsah's Day (Leap Year Day): Every fourth year, an additional day is added to the calendar. This day is called "Motsah's Day" and commemorates the covenant of Motsah the Lamb (YAHUSHA). Like Anokeesed's Day, it is not a numbered day of the week and does not disrupt the perpetual weekly cycle.

Evidence from the Book of Enoch

The Sun's Portals

The Book of Enoch describes the sun's journey through six portals in the east (for rising) and six in the west (for setting). This journey dictates the length of the day and night throughout the year. The calendar tracks which portal the sun uses.

Portal 4: Days 1-30 and Days 153-182
Portal 5: Days 31-60 and Days 123-152
Portal 6: Days 61-91 and Days 92-122 (Longest days)
Portal 3: Days 183-212 and Days 335-364
Portal 2: Days 213-242 and Days 305-334
Portal 1: Days 243-273 and Days 274-304 (Shortest days)

This celestial movement is a fundamental part of the calendar's design, linking the counting of days to the observable patterns of the cosmos created by Anokeesed.

Evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls

Calendrical Document C (4Q326)

Fragmentary manuscripts from Cave 4, present in various forms the peculiar ‘solar’ calendar - constructed in six-year sequences - of the Qumran Community. Their year consisted of twelve months of thirty days each, plus four extra days added (intercalated) to each of the four seasons.
