Repetition
of 19 Years by Floyd R. Cox Why is a
lunar-solar calendar important? There are several reasons. 1. King David and
Solomon used it to compel all 12 tribes of Israel to come to Jerusalem to
celebrate high days and give them financial support. 2. Special events have
occurred on new moons, full moons, sabbaticals and jubilee years. 3. Future
events are likely to happen according to these same days and years. This can
be used to create a religion based upon prophecy. |

12 Moons in Sync with 12 Months
A lunar-solar calendar adds a 13th lunar month seven times in 19 years
to keeps lunar years (12 lunar months) in sync with solar years (12 solar
months) in order to begin the years and four seasons at the right time. We
know that spring now begins on about March 21, when days and nights are equal
(equinox means “equal nights”. Therefore, the solar years can be counted with
a sundial, which shows when sun rises due east and sets due west on a certain
day each year. If the new moon
happened to begin at the day of the equinox, the 12th moon would
be short about 11 days of reaching 365 days. In the third year, the gap would
expand to about 33 days, and an extra 13th moon would be needed to
place the 14th moon near the equinox, at the beginning of a new
year, as the first moon of the next year. This needs to be done seven times
in 19 years – 235 moons altogether. 11 days after the beginning of the 235th
moon, an eclipse usually occurs because there is room for one more moon
before the 19 years are complete, and the same sequence starts over during
the next 19 years. The previous 18 years before these 11 days are called a
“Saros” or “eclipse cycle”. Having said this,
how do we know when the beginning of the 19 years has begun in the past? Cycles Began in 3761 and 37 BC Finding when the
19-year cycle and 7-year cycle have begun has been an insurmountable task for
almost everyone. One minister
instructed his followers to simply count from the dates they were baptized
and wait for Christ to return to restore the proper year. Could he have been
more certain of when the seventh year is? Yes, the answer
is rather simple once it has been revealed. The key is found in 37 BC, when
Herod conquered Jerusalem The Levite priest-historian, Josephus, said this
was in a sabbatical year. The first key is to count the 7 years and 19 years from the rabbinical date of Creation, that is, from 3761 BC. Moreover, if Herod captured Jerusalem in 37 BC, then it was both a seventh year and also the 19th year. How can we prove this? 37 BC was 196 x 19 years after rabbinical date of Creation in 3761 BC. It was also 19 x 4 jubilees (196 yrs.) after Creation! |
