This Netsarian Israelite Qumranian-Zadokite-Essene Dead Sea Scrolls Calendar
is a pre-calculated 364 Days per year Calendar and is not to be confused with other hybrid moon-phase-based calendars, such as the Islamic Lunar Calendar and Lunar-Solar Calendar of the Samaritan & Judean Governments. Nor is it to be confused with the hybrid Roman Mithraic-Christian SunDay Governments. The Communities of the Essene-Israelites followed the original Enochian-Noahic-Melchizedekian-Abrahamic-Levitical-Mosaic Torah-Law—not the later edited-law of the Samaritans & Hasmonean-Sadducean-Pharisee Temple-Establishment Judeans of the 1st Century
nor the Ka’arite & Rabbinical Establishment that followed afterward.
In the Nazarean-Essene Sun-regulated yearly schedule, there are 4-Seasons, 364 Days per year, equaling exactly 52 Weekly-Sabbath-Days (except, in intercalation years when a week is inserted). In this Sacred Calendar, there is a 7-Day Perpetual Creation Week: Sunday thru Saturday-Sabbath, which has never been proven to have changed its continuous sequence of Morning-Day-Evening-Night (Gen. 1:3–2:3). A Day does not begin at Night! The Dawning light from the Sun begins the Dawn (Morning), Day (Sunrise until), Dusk (Sundown-evening) that ends when the Stars come out, which begins the darkness of Night. Day first, then Night. Thus, we have the biblical phrases: 40 days and 40 nights, 3 days and 3 nights, and, “tomorrow” begins with Dawn-Daylight. In the beginning of creation week, the Cosmic Spiritual-Light was created for the created ones on the Day-One (separated from the impenetrable Darkness or Abyss of the infinite unknowable One—Ayn Sof), but the Sun, Moon & Stars, were created on the 4th Day. And hence, the 4th Day of the Week (the 3rd or 4th Wednesday in March) starts the 364-Day-Count of each year. Therefore, Day-1 of the 364 Days, begins in the Spring of the Year—near to the Vernal Equinox (not the Equilux). (Gen 1:14-19; Jub 1:8-10) The last day of the year ends on the 3rd Day of the Week (Tuesday) every year. Each Seasonal Quarter begins on a Wednesday (Jub 6:19).
The Dead Sea Scrolls bear witness to the persecuted and exiled Jewish Qumran community of the Zadokite Priesthood who were custodians of the ‘sacred time’ portrayed in this Calendar. The biblical writings discovered there include the Books of Enoch and Jubilees, which are also a part of the Canon of Scriptures of Ethiopian Jews and Christians and describe this sacred Calendar in contrast to the Jerusalem Sadducean Priests and Pharisees who had gone astray in the Hasmonean period, following the victory of the Maccabean victory over the Seleucids. Detailed records were discovered of this Mathematical Schedule of the Sun and Moon and the Sacred Festivals of Israel. It is our belief that John the Baptist was a part of the Zadokite community and that Yeshua and his followers kept this sacred Calendar rather than the Babylonian-Grecian-Hasmonean-Sadducean-Pharisaic-Talmudic Calendar.
According to the Roman Historian Strabo, an Essene-Ebionite sect of the Jews who were sworn to poverty were also among the Nabateans at Petra,1 (which was part of Arabia at the time) in about 10 BC. From this poverty comes the Hebrew term, Ebionites (the Poor). Though little is known, it seems that the Nabateans honored the important but mysterious biblical figure, Melchi-Zedek, who was the Priest of the Most High at Jerusalem that blessed Abram/Abraham and served him “Bread and Wine” and to whom Abraham gave Tithes. They may have had some link to Zadokian Qumran community and/or Jewish Nasareans-Ebionites. The historian Strabo claimed that “They worship the Sun and construct an altar on the top of a house, pouring out libations and burning frankincense upon it every day.” Being correctly interpreted though, this likely meant that they honoured the preeminence of the Sun praying at its rising in the morning and at its going down in the evening. These same practices are reflected the Bible and in the Books of Enoch and Jubilees, as will be recognizable below. The Book of Jubilees says that Adam and Enoch offered incense to the Almighty–and without animal sacrifices. Jubilees 2:22; 3:26; 4:25 And according to testimony concerning the ancient Jewish Nasareans and Ebionites, eating animals and offering them as sacrifices was a fraudulent rewriting of the scriptures as noted elsewhere on this website.
This Israelite Calendar, first revealed to Enoch and followed by Noah, Melchizedek, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and revealed again to Moses, is not to be confused with other Babylonian hybrid moon-phase-based calendars, such as the Islamic Lunar Calendar and the Lunar-Solar Calendar of the Samaritan & Judean Governments. Nor is it to be confused with the hybrid Roman Mithraic-Christian SunDay calendar. The Communities of the Zadokian Israelites followed the original Enochian-Noahic-Melchizedekian-Abrahamic-Levitical-Mosaic Torah-Law, not the later edited-law of the Samaritans & Sadducean-Pharisaic-Talmudic Judeans.
In this Sacred yearly schedule, there are 4-Seasons, 364 Days per year, equaling exactly 52 Weekly-Sabbath-Days (except, in intercalation years when a week is inserted). In this Sacred Calendar, there is a 7-Day Perpetual Creation Week: Sunday thru the Sabbath Day, which has never been proven to have changed its continuous sequence of Morning-Day-Evening-Night (Gen. 1:3–2:3). The Dawning light from the Sun begins the Morning and Day, and Sundown begins the Evening that ends after Dusk when the Stars come out, which begins the darkness of Night. Thus, we have the biblical phrases: 40 days and 40 nights, 3 days and 3 nights, and, “tomorrow” begins with the Dawn of Daylight.
In the beginning of creation week, the Cosmic Spiritual-Light was created on the Day-One, but the Sun, Moon & Stars, were were not created until the 4th Day. On this day, there was the Vernal Equinox accompanied by a Full Moon. This began a recurring pattern that repeated every 294 years, when the Sun and Moon returned to their created position in the sky. The 294 years is divisible by the numbers, 6 and 7. The 6-years is related to the perpetual 6-years rotation of the priests (6 x 7 = 42) and the 7-years is related to 7-years Shmita cycle and 49-years Jubilees cycles: (7 x 7 = 49).
7 x 42 = 294 years | 7 x 49 = 294 years. The Spring Equinox Sun and a Full Moon and the first priestly family (Gamul) serving for a week all aligned to begin another 294 year cycle. It was discovered that a new 294 years cycle began on March 20th, 2019. This was a breakthrough in research. See, www.Restored7sCalendar.com. The 6-years priestly course begins again with the priestly family of Gamul along with the insertion of an intercalary week. The New Year begins on Wednesday, March 19th, 2025. The last day of this year will be Tuesday, March 17, 2026. (The new research, retrospectively effects our understanding of when to insert the intercalary week, which up to this point, was inserted every 5 years, or, 6 years rarely, keeping the Equinox ahead of New Year’s Day. Henceforth, it will fall behind the Equinox for 6 years, and this is the weakness in this model.) We are not ‘set-in-stone’ on this and continue to research. There is another model where there is no intercalation as long as the Equinox falls within the seven-day week, on either side of the New Years Day which always falls on the 4th Day of the Week (Wednesday).2
All solar calendars fall behind about 1.25 days each year. This necessitates an intercalation and that is why in the U.S. we have a February 29th every 4-years. When the Spring Equinox falls on a Wednesday, we insert one week (thus making that year 371 days) and restart the 364-Day count on the following Wednesday. The 364-Day count never changes–it is continuous until the intercalation week is inserted in order to keep the 4-seasons in-sync. The intercalation week makes that year to be 371 days and 53 Weekly Sabbaths Days. The reason for the need of an intercalation was because there was an interruption of the perfect synchronization of the 364 Days-Nights yearly cycle (noted in the Calendar Free Download).

- Diodorus Siculus also, writing in the first century BC, speaks of a clan amongst the Nabateans who lived outside mainstream society in the surrounding mountains.
“These people are ruled by their own king, but all are equal in his sight and he is called by them “brother”. they are exceedingly learned and there are many philosophers amongst them. the women are treated as equal…Although they welcome travelers, they do not permit their sons and daughters to marry outside their caste, believing their blood belongs to their god…they do not keep slaves and are much inclined to share their possessions….they are forbidden to consume the blood of animals and must first prepare the carcass by ritual draining…”
Here we have a remarkable similarity of a secret journey Jesus made at an early stage of his life. Two of the New Testament gospels fail to say where Jesus was before his baptism and the event that took place in Jerusalem: the two have a mysterious gap in Christ’s life between the age of 12-30. A number of historians have suggested that Jesus spent these missing years as an Essene. The Essene lived by the Dead Sea and they tried to stay away from big cities.
The work of the Roman historian Strabo suggests that the Essenes were in Petra around the time Jesus was born. He records that somewhere about the year 10 BC, when the Nabatean king Obodas II tried to over tax his people, there were many groups in Petra who opposed the king. Of one of these, Strabo writes:
“The Essene sect of the Jews, who were treated better here than they were by Herod in Judea, were most incensed. for they claimed to have no belongings, being sworn to poverty in such matters.” acacialand.com/nabateans.html ↩︎ - Dead Sea Scrolls Calendar research continues by many. Two noteworthy models below. We added the priestly rotation, this year per number (2) below, as part of the Calendar as the days for both of these will align for a couple of years.
(1) Many have been intercalating when the Equinox falls on the 5th Day of the Week. But, another interesting model is that as long as the Spring-Equinox is in the same week (Sunday thru Sabbath), no intercalation is to be made. This keeps the Equinox within three days of the mid-week (4th) Day. When the Spring-Equinox moves to the next week after five or six years, then, intercalate a week. So, New Year’s Day (on a 4th Day, Wednesday) is never more than three days from the actual Spring-Equinox. Thus, this maintains the Creation Week Model with the 7-Branched Temple Menorah.
(2) Some other research suggests/confirms that New Years’ Day of new 294-years cycle (6 x 49) commenced on March 20, 2019. A Full-Moon and the Spring Equinox was noted to occur on the 4th Day of the Week (as in Creation Week). The 6-years rotation of the priests was completed and the Intercalation Week was inserted. The next 6-years rotation began and New Years Day was March 19, 2025. If true, this could update our understanding of the role of the Spring Equinox.
