Entry to the Holy of Holies prepares one for Holy Bible discussion
about the most sacred writings. Precise definitions of ancient
calendar mathematics perhaps 10,000-years ago are in the
Antediluvian Calendar of the Patriarchs. The "begat" family
descendants following Adam is from chapter 5 of Genesis. Like
the ancestry of Kings and Pharaohs, entire lunar/solar epochs of
time describe the lifetime rule.
Entry to the Holy of Holies
Preparation is necessary to continue this
discussion of the
Holy Bible
and some of the world's oldest and most sacred writings. The
numbers recorded are absolute, precise definitions of ancient
calendar mathematics perhaps 10,000-years ago. The
Antediluvian Patriarchs, or pre-flood fore fathers, are generally
considered simply leaders. The Patriarchs include the
"begat" family descendants following Adam in
chapter 5 of Genesis.
Like the ancestry of Kings and Pharaohs, entire epochs of time
describe the lifetime rule. A primary age measures years
from birth to fatherhood of the next named son for each
character. A secondary age then follows until the
character's death. All primary ages form the primary age
category and secondary ages constitute the secondary age
category. The
Bible
sums the primary and secondary ages to give a lifetime age total
for each character. Our study will span the named Patriarchs
from Adam through Enoch.
In Old Testament days, the
Holy of Holies or the Most Holy Place, was the most
sacred part of a temple. Levite priests were the only people
allowed to enter the Holy of
Holies during special worship times. Priests burned
incense and performed sacrificial ceremonies. The famous Ark
of the Covenant adorned this Most
Holy Place. The Holy
of Holies was usually located toward the rear of the
Tabernacle and surrounded by a thick curtain (Exodus Ch. 25-40). Inside
the Holy of Holies, a
golden lamp stand, table, incense altar and bronze altar usually
accompanied the Ark of the Covenant. The table held the "Bread
of the Presence". The Ark and most tabernacle furnishings had
rings and carrying poles. Sheets of gold covered the portable
furnishings.
God specifically directed
Moses to build the Ark of the Covenant for the liberated
Hebrews. Leviticus
combines the Jewish sacred calendar year of feasts and festivals
with relevant topics about holiness. Rules for keeping 7-day
Sabbaths have supreme importance. Various movements within
Judaism perpetuate associated customs. Physical objects of
ritualistic worship decorated priestly ceremonies.
The Ark of the Covenant has symbolized Judaism at large for the last
several thousand years of the traditional Jewish calendar. The
Ark was a consecrated object that symbolized a portable Most Holy Place for the
temple. Joshua later led the Israelites across the Jordan
River near Jericho. When the priests who carried the same Ark
reached the Jordan River and their feet touched the water's edge,
the water from upstream stopped flowing. This miracle
demonstrates the power of the Lord
resting upon the Ark of the Covenant in the midst of the river
Jordan.
Joshua
3:17
And
the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood
firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan,
and all the Israelites passed
over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over
Jordan.
The Lord's wrath demands
equal respect. King Uzziah of Judah learned that pride can be
one's downfall. Uzziah transgressed against the Lord his God by entering the Most Holy Place with intentions
of burning incense upon the altar. When confronted by Azariah
the priest and eighty others, the reserved practice of burning
incense to the Lord in the
temple became apparent. The priests warned King Uzziah.
2 Chronicles 26:18
And they withstood Uzziah the king,
and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to
burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of
Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the
sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for
thine honour from the LORD God.
King Uzziah became angry, and while still holding a censor to burn
incense, he was afflicted. Leprosy broke out on Uzziah's
forehead at that very moment. King Uzziah was a leper, forced
to live separate and excluded for the rest of his life.
These two examples help illustrate the importance of maintaining the
sanctity of the temple, and especially the Holy of Holies. Like Torah scrolls, the Holy Bible and other documentary
evidence, the method of media used to convey an accurate
representation of the Word of God
is incidental to the fundamental knowledge gained. Sacred
calendar information is a very dedicated part of that Word, and reflects the kind of
knowledge with which Moses left Egypt. Gold laden artifacts
and incense were merely ritualistic. The essence of a living God was abstract without either
form or flesh. The oldest scriptural knowledge supplemented
the Exodus venture.
Lunar/solar calendars were used in ancient times to measure these
ages. A theology that aligned mechanics of the lunar/solar
calendar with the lives of prevailing rulers weighed heavily upon
ancient records. King lists and spiritual rulers often shared
the heavenly realm. Special mediators between God above and mortal people
below, the Antediluvian Patriarchs provide new revelations.
Calendar research of the Holy
Bible begins with basic lunar counting procedures.
Spiritual connotations and literal translations aid our present
understanding. Ideas of God
coming between, separating and dividing time expanded to include
months and years. Worship principles encompassed lunar/solar
calendars of ancient people. The Jewish Calendar is the oldest
l/s calendar still in continuous use for Jewish people. A
survey of the Jewish Calendar and the 19-year l/s calendar cycle
traces the origins back to the Exodus. Agricultural feasts and
festivals were ordained in scripture. Intercalary days add
7-months, or 209 days, in unceasing 7-day weeks to keep the
lunar-side of the calendar on track with the solar-side. The
Jewish Calendar is a lunar/solar model to help explore similar
calendar instruments.
Ancient people of the Mediterranean coastlands, Mesopotamia and the
Yucatan Peninsula shared lunar/solar calendar concepts and religious
practices. Past evidence already exists to secure a vantage
point that renders pre-historical culture. Calendar tools
develop to apply consistent lunar/solar perceptions to other time
reckoning systems. A 360-day length of year centers every year
between 354-day-lunar-years and 365-day-solar-years. The
architecture of stepped temples, mythological lore and sacred texts
document relationships long ago. Ruling authorities often
displayed calendar records on standing stones or sacred
pillars. Engravings and testimonials provide supporting
evidence. Extended treatment of lunar-side and solar-side
components create lunar/solar calendars for numbered multiples of
years. Mystical interpretation aligns gods and deities with
cosmology. Jewish, Egyptian and Mesoamerican calendar
techniques are useful examples of ancient past calendars.
The Egyptian Calendar recognizes a 1,460-year Sothic Cycle.
Converging pyramid slopes introduce cascaded time thinking.
Controlling stars, named for gods, exerted influence during set
astronomical cycles. Numerical matching of X number of days
with X number of years was also a common characteristic of ancient
calendars. Identical lunar/solar origins led to using
210-days, or 7-months of 30-days each, in a 20-year l/s cycle.
Mesoamerican 20-year l/s cycles squared to become
400-year-Baktun-cycles. Numerical matching scaled the
intercalary 210-days to signify 210-years for every
400-year-Baktun-cycle. Two 400-year-Baktun-cycles add together
to create an 800-year Generation Cycle. The 800-year
Generation Cycle repeats for each character from Adam to Jared in
the secondary age category. Jewish, Egyptian and Mesoamerican
calendar techniques are useful examples of ancient past
calendars. Some features and folklore surrounding the Egyptian
Calendar transferred to the Western Hemisphere about 3,000 B.C.E.
Legends and calendar evidence survives to indicate Mesoamerican
culture adopted l/s calendar traits. Individual calendars of
the Yucatan Peninsula branched to become the Aztec, Incan and Mayan
Calendars. Gears serve to illustrate Mesoamerican 52-year
Calendar Round operations. The bulk of this work refers to
accepted Mayan nomenclature for established time cycles. The
sacred 260-day-Tzolken-year and civil 360-day-Tun-year multiplied
together in the 52-year Calendar Round. Egyptian and Mayan
calendars add a special 5-day festival period at the end of the
year. A 360-day-Tun-year lengthens for the complete solar
365-day-Haab-year. Background material gained from the ancient
Jewish, Egyptian and Mayan Calendars allows us to penetrate more
deeply than ever before. The Book of Enoch and the Book of
Jubilees impart more sacred text evidence of distant past calendars.
The unifying methodology of combined lunar/solar calendar systems
climaxes to explain time recorded for the Antediluvian Patriarchs in
the Holy Bible.
Beginning with the ages of Adam, we have the proper calendar tools
to understand extreme past lifestyle. The archaic style of
early people measured time. Each character lists a primary age
from birth to fatherhood and a secondary age until death.
Significant l/s calendar times correlate with numbered ages in the
primary age category. For Adam, the primary 130-year age
matches half of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle. Two
400-year-Baktun-cycles add to make Adam’s secondary age 800-year
Generation Cycle. Secondary ages from Adam through Jared link
with multiples of the 400-year-Baktun-cycle in the Mayan 5200-year
Great Cycle.
Lunar/solar separation time divides in half to expose the primary
105-year age of Seth. The secondary 807-year age of Seth
repeats an 800-year Generation Cycle. The last 5-years in
Seth’s primary 105-year age compares equally to the last
7-sacred-years of the secondary age category. Time reckoning
in Genesis shares
identification of specific intervals with names and numbers.
Number patterns are the framework of calendar science.
A correlation exists between the ages written for the Antediluvian
Patriarchs and specific lunar/solar calendar information known long
ago. Prehistoric style established numbering to mark the
passage of time. Days and years count according to the most
ancient calendar system ever devised. The Holy Bible preserved time by
naming eras for past monarchs. In remote history, knowledge
and power coincided with operation of the calendar. Short
summaries for the biblical ages of Adam and Seth follow. Time
Emits has published a separate Holy_of_Holies
for the listed Patriarchs Enos, Cainan, Mahaleel, Jared and Enoch.
A special place called the Holy of
Holies was common to ancient Judaism and compares with
ancient Egyptology. Entry to this area of the temple was
limited to the religious elect. Reasons for protecting this
very sacred calendar material preserved the social framework of
theocracy. Supernatural occurrences manifested in predictable
ritual and behavior inside the Holy
of Holies. Seemingly random magical instances
occasionally transpired upon worshipping participants.
By testimony and spiritual occurrences written in the Holy Bible, we accept proof of
miraculous deeds. Optimizing our lives to seek Him is a
fundamental purpose of time. A substantial relationship exists
between time and the Holy Spirit.
Very old time cycles in this vein awaken dormant magical
forces. Virtually untapped resources having divine properties
expose. Raw manifestations directly happen to an elevated
level of spiritual awareness. The discerning person realizes
paranormal situations through personal dreams and emotions.
Some instances can alter the physical form world. Our search
to know the ways and mindset of God
may lead to spontaneous and unexpected actions. Religion
reserves Sabbaths and other worship times to connect people with the
Almighty.
These numbers and their meanings are the actual building blocks of
time itself. Time Emits will continue the quest to do calendar
research in conjunction with the Holy
Bible. The Holy_of_Holies
will detail similar calendar practices and analysis for the
Antediluvian Patriarchs from Enos, the grandson of Adam, to
Enoch. Penetrate hundreds and even thousands of years, unto
the foundations of the world with the eternal Lord. The Holy_of_Holies follows Ages_of_Adam to deliver an
ultimate message to those who have understanding.
Thousands of years have elapsed since the first Patriarchs began
measuring time. The course of world history has obscured exact
characterizations and meanings of the Antediluvian times. The
floating history offered by Genesis
5 is unfixed in terms of modern Gregorian calendar
dating. Long ago and today, the calendar date stamps past
events. Modern science adapts ancient history to fit our solar
calendar system. The intention dates every event within the
confines of B.C.E. or A.D. to establish or enhance credibility.
Two entirely different subjects are worth pondering. The
absolute age of the Holy Bible
and the general viewpoint regarding human anthropology cede to
discussion. These commencements need addressing before anyone
can posit a date for the Creative Week. Jewish scholars
regressing backward from 359 C.E. and the standardized modern Jewish
Calendar, have attempted to determine Creation by mixing calendar
science with known events. To some extent, the Egyptian
Calendar emerges as a guideline. The Egyptian Calendar
supports the Deluge in 2,345 B.C.E., the Exodus between 1,460-1,470
B.C.E and many other significant dates in Jewish chronology.
Maya writings and calendar studies advanced in western chronology
following the 1950’s. Over 100 years of archeology and
exploration have led to the modern version of the Mayan Calendar.
The best way to map chronology is to benefit from the same calendar
system that ancient people once lived by. Ages listed in Genesis mandate that scientists
adjust their calculations to a corresponding lunar/solar
strategy. Treating these numbers as superfluous or abstract
dismisses tremendous potential. Culture, art and history have
deeply rooted facets in the ancient past. The ramifications of
this calendar science discovery to the world are monumental.

seeks anointed people to review and contribute to the Ages_of_Adam ministry.
Ancient lunar/solar calendars like the Jewish and Mayan calendars
provide the background to understanding early time. Ancient
calendars of the Holy Bible
use differences between the moon and sun, numerical matching and a
364-day calendar year to describe X-number of days that match with
X-number of years. Ages_of_Adam
