▪ are approaching the vernal equinox of Gregorian year 2023 A.D1;I decided to post this pdf grid of what the Enoch solar year might look like according to my reading of 1 Enoch.6 Undoubtedly others have done something similar, though I haven't yet seen one starting on Sunday (Day One of creation). However, last December, I came across a Zadok calendar using a similar grid, but it begins each year on a Wednesday (Day Four of the 7-day week) according to their beliefs.7
▪ are nearing the season that God appointed for the beginning of a new year2 for the children of Israel as they left their bondage in Egypt;
▪ are mostly unfamiliar with the 364-day calendar year that 1 Enoch detailed3;
▪ are perhaps out of sync with God's specifically marked and detailed Feasts4;
▪ are perhaps naïve about the adversary's purposes in corrupting times and dates; and
▪ are probably needing to pay more attention to the lights God placed in the heavens “for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years”5;
Notice the beauty of the perfect blocking of 52 weeks; the pleasing repetition of 4 sections of 3 months each, marked off by the four transitioning seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. According to Enoch's calendar, we are approaching day one of a new year following Day 31 of the last winter (12th) month. On the 31st day of each 91 day course, a seasonal transition occurs. If the vernal equinox is calculated correctly (equal light and dark), will it fall on the transition day (31st) of Month XII to bring on Day One of Month I? Will a new (crescent) moon play any role as a second witness to a new beginning of the year? Do we mistake looking for the new moon to start each new month? or is it a simple count of 30, 30, then 31 days before the next seasonal transition with the moon playing some part (or not) that we don't yet understand? If we don't observe, how will we know? Do the four directions and the four seasons have any symbolism in the four faces described in Ezekiel chapters1 and 10?
There is much yet to explore, investigate, discern, and reconcile, not just in the Enoch versions, but with our 365 ¼ day year. But let us consider this: If we have a God who sometimes micromanages things, such as:
In the meantime, let's all be more observant, and understand, as usual, that the efforts to uncover buried or corrupted truth seem unending.

6. Here are the relevant Enoch verses as to the sun. The moon verses will be posted on February 23.
CHAPTER LXXII. The Sun.
1. The book of the courses of the luminaries of the heaven, the relations of each, according to their classes, their dominion and their seasons, according to their names and places of origin, and according to their months, which Uriel, the holy angel, who was with me, who is their guide, showed me; and he showed me all their laws exactly as they are, and how it is with regard to all the years of the world and unto eternity, till the new creation is accomplished which dureth till eternity.
2. And this is the first law of the luminaries: the luminary the Sun has its rising in the eastern portals of the heaven, and its setting in the western portals of the heaven.
3. And I saw six portals in which the sun rises, and six portals in which the sun sets and the moon rises and sets in these portals, and the leaders of the stars and those whom they lead: six in the east and six in the west, and all following each other in accurately corresponding order: also many windows to the right and left of these portals.
4. And first there goes forth the great luminary, named the Sun, and his circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and he is quite filled with illuminating and heating fire.
5. The chariot on which he ascends, the wind drives, and the sun goes down from the heaven and returns through the north in order to reach the east, and is so guided that he comes to the appropriate (lit. 'that') portal and shines in the face of the heaven.
6. In this way he rises in the first month in the great portal, which is the fourth ⌈ those six portals in the cast ⌉.
7. And in that fourth portal from which the sun rises in the first month are twelve window-openings, from which proceed a flame when they are opened in their season.
8. When the sun rises in the heaven, he comes forth through that fourth portal thirty mornings in succession, and sets accurately in the fourth portal in the west of the heaven.
9. And during this period the day becomes daily longer and the night nightly shorter to the thirtieth morning.
10. On that day the day is longer than the night by a ninth part, and the day amounts exactly to ten parts and the night to eight parts.
11. And the sun rises from that fourth portal, and sets in the fourth and returns to the fifth portal of the east thirty mornings, and rises from it and sets in the fifth portal.
12. And then the day becomes longer by †two† parts and amounts to eleven parts, and the night becomes shorter and amounts to seven parts.
13. And it returns to the east and enters into the sixth portal, and rises and sets in the sixth portal one-and-thirty mornings on account of its sign.
14. On that day the day becomes longer than the night, and the day becomes double the night, and the day becomes twelve parts, and the night is shortened and becomes six parts.
15. And the sun mounts up to make the day shorter and the night longer, and the sun returns to the east and enters into the sixth portal, and rises from it and sets thirty mornings.
16. And when thirty mornings are accomplished, the day decreases by exactly one part, and becomes eleven parts, and the night seven.
17. And the sun goes forth from that sixth portal in the west, and goes to the east and rises in the fifth portal for thirty mornings, and sets in the west again in the fifth western portal.
18. On that day the day decreases by †two† parts, and amounts to ten parts and the night to eight parts.
19. And the sun goes forth from that fifth portal and sets in the fifth portal of the west, and rises in the fourth portal for one-and-thirty mornings on account of its sign, and sets in the west.
20. On that day the day is equalized with the night, [and becomes of equal length], and the night amounts to nine parts and the day to nine parts.
21. And the sun rises from that portal and sets in the west, and returns to the east and rises thirty mornings in the third portal and sets in the west in the third portal.
22. And on that day the night becomes longer than the day, and night becomes longer than night, and day shorter than day till the thirtieth morning, and the night amounts exactly to ten parts and the day to eight parts.
23. And the sun rises from that third portal and sets in the third portal in the west and returns to the east, and for thirty mornings rises in the second portal in the east, and in like manner sets in the second portal in the west of the heaven.
24. And on that day the night amounts to eleven parts and the day to seven parts.
25. And the sun rises on that day from that second portal and sets in the west in the second portal, and returns to the east into the first portal for one-and-thirty mornings, and sets in the first portal in the west of the heaven.
26. And on that day the night becomes longer and amounts to the double of the day: and the night amounts exactly to twelve parts and the day to six.
27. And the sun has (therewith) traversed the divisions of his orbit and turns again on those divisions of his orbit, and enters that portal thirty mornings and sets also in the west opposite to it.
28. And on that night has the night decreased in length by a †ninth† part, and the night has become eleven parts and the day seven parts.
29. And the sun has returned and entered into the second portal in the east, and returns on those his divisions of his orbit for thirty mornings, rising and setting.
30. And on that day the night decreases in length, and the night amounts to ten parts and the day to eight.
31. And on that day the sun rises from that portal, and sets in the west, and returns to the east, and rises in the third portal for one-and-thirty mornings, and sets in the west of the heaven.
32. On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four.
33. And the length of the day and of the night, and the shortness of the day and of the night arise--through the course of the sun these distinctions are made (lit. 'they are separated').
34. So it comes that its course becomes daily longer, and its course nightly shorter.
35. And this is the law and the course of the sun, and his return as often as he returns sixty times and rises, i.e. the great luminary which is named the sun, for ever and ever.
36. And that which (thus) rises is the great luminary, and is so named according to its appearance, according as the Lord commanded.
37. As he rises, so he sets and decreases not, and rests not, but runs day and night, and his light is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; but as regards size they are both equal.

12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.
14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.
16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver:
18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

There is much yet to explore, investigate, discern, and reconcile, not just in the Enoch versions, but with our 365 ¼ day year. But let us consider this: If we have a God who sometimes micromanages things, such as:
▪ the timing and conduct of Feast Festivals (ibid., footnote 4);then, could there be some unseen order or pattern in a 364-day solar year mixed with a 354-day lunar year that we have lost? How does it all jive with our 365 ¼ day Gregorian year? Do the sun, moon, and stars serve the Law of Witnesses13 so that if we knew the true pattern, we could reset Gregorian time and date to God's time and date? I have read some of John Pratt's thoughts14 on these matters, but have not yet settled on a pattern that reconciles the precision that seems to characterize the works of God.
▪ the detailed construction, décor, clothing, and service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation8;
▪ the use of mechanized wheels within wheels? (cogs?)9;
▪ the Kirtland buildings: dimensions and patterns10;
▪ 1841 Joint Stock Company11;
▪ frequent reference to a required pattern for things12;
In the meantime, let's all be more observant, and understand, as usual, that the efforts to uncover buried or corrupted truth seem unending.

2. And this is the first law of the luminaries: the luminary the Sun has its rising in the eastern portals of the heaven, and its setting in the western portals of the heaven.

19. And the sun goes forth from that fifth portal and sets in the fifth portal of the west, and rises in the fourth portal for one-and-thirty mornings on account of its sign, and sets in the west.
20. On that day the day is equalized with the night, [and becomes of equal length], and the night amounts to nine parts and the day to nine parts.

13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.
14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.
16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver:
18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
19 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.
