Months

I have presented on my calendar pages a lunar based calendar, but want to investigate a solar based calendar to see if there is light in it.  The solar calendars have a fixed year of twelve months that begins with the vernal equinox.  In general these months have thirty days each, with intercalary days to keep the vernal equinox lined up.  I've seen different placements of the intercalary days and realize that the time between equinoxes and solstices is not exactly the same (seasons as astronomers define them range from about 89 to 93 days long).  The calendar here begins Abib 1 aligned with the vernal equinox and placed on the fourth day of the week.  I am following the pattern of an author who places First Fruits on the fifteenth of the third month and has four ninety-one day seasons based on Enoch.  Another author begins the same, but places First Fruits on the sixth day of the third month based on Jasher.  I have seen yet another author who lines up the equinox with the first day of the week and has First Fruits as a double sabbath corresponding to the 49th and 50th years of the Jubilee cycle.

The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation seem to be based on a solar calendar.  Three and a half years (time, times and half a time of Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 12:14) is equivalent to forty-two months and also equivalent to 1260 days.  James also mentions a three and a half year period.

Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.

Jam 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.


Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.

Rev 11:3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days

Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.

Another number that appears to fit the solar count is 1335.  This is three and a half years plus seventy-five days.  Seventy five days is two and a half months and appears to be associated with the initial giving of the Ten Commandments in the middle of the third month.  This interval could be from Trumpets to First Fruits.

Dan 12:12 Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

It would appear that both calendars cannot be correct because the observance of the appointed times is not open to private interpretation.  Some have suggested that the New Testament has Yeshua and his followers not observing the same appointed times as the Feasts of the Jews (John 2:13, etc.).  I have used Bible references for this calendar, and realize that other non-Biblical writings can be used to justify each of the variations that I've examined so far.  Ultimately, the wise will have to know YHUH to be in His time.
