⁜ The 2024-25 Netsarim-Essene Calendar and Commentary ⁜ Download Here
The Dead Sea Scrolls which promotes this Calendar, includes the Books of Enoch and Jubilees that were also found there; And additionally, these books are a part of the Canon of Scriptures of Ethiopian Jews and Christians. According to the Roman Historian Strabo, the Essene sect of the Jews who were sworn to poverty were also among the Nabateans at Petra, (part of Arabia at the time) in about 10 BC. From this poverty comes the term, Ebionites. Seemingly, they were followers of Melchi-Zedek or Zadokian-Levites; Nasareans. Strabo said, “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, this 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 are reflected in the Books of Enoch and Jubilees, as will be recognizable below. Adam and Enoch offered incense in Jubilees with no animal sacrifices. And according to testimony concerning the Nasareans and Ebionites, eating animals and offering them as sacrifices was a fraudulent rewriting of the scriptures. Jubilees 2:22; 3:26; 4:25.

This Essene-Israelite Sunlight-Based Schedule & Calendar 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 Melchizedek-Levitical-Mosaic Torah-Law, not the later edited-law of the Samaritans & Judeans.
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). 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 Daylight. In the beginning of creation week, the Cosmic Spiritual-Light was created on the Day-One, 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—in relation to the Vernal Equinox (not the Equilux) (nor the Constellations of the Stars). (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). 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 7-days (thus making that year 371 days) and restart the 364-Day count on the following Wednesday. The 364-Day count is continuous until the intercalation week. And, this exception occurs every 5-6 years when an extra week must be inserted in order to keep the 4-seasons in-sync. The intercalation week makes one out of every 5 or 6-years 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. The speed of the Sun and Moon revolving around the Earth was altered at least once in the past. See Joshua 10:13; Habakkuk 3:11 and Isaiah 38:8
