How to create a FREE Qumran Calendar from a Gregorian

Do you ever find your self confused about the "bible feasts" in the bible or confused about different "times and events" in the bible in what they mean?  Like "Tammuz" or "Feast of Tabernacles."  Perhaps this could help your understanding.

The bible says one thing and religious practices often say another, especially when it comes to "time" of events.  The bible is meant to lead a person to eternity!  But the only real way to understand eternity that the bible describes is through "heavenly signs."  Jesus was on the cross from the 6th hour to the 9th hour! The bible mentions that Jesus is the "morning star".....what could all of these things mean?? ****ancient time was calculated by the sundial's shadow and night events were divided by "night watches"****

To get a general understanding of the Qumran Calendar and how it works, study websites like THIS website and other resources.  Once you understand the "pattern" (if you can't understand the pattern very well ask a beloved mathematical friend.....), it becomes easier to understand the overall big picture of the bible calendar and how it fits into the bible events.  However, do not "ignore" the simple stories that never mention a "time" or an "astronomy event,"  simply consider the meaning and importance.....because the ENTIRE bible is "bread of life."


1. First of all Click on the following link and study the "patterns" in the Qumran Calendar.

2. Assume that the Qumran Calendar, if it was used in the time of Jesus, was used in such a way that the first full moon of the first calendar cycle was found below the feet of "bet hula" or Virgo.

3. To find out the possible "day" to use in your calendar, consider converting the Qumran calendar into the time of Jesus by "metonic cycle".  Assuming that metonic-cycle gives us the BEST accuracy, this chart is developed to help understand the proper location of the moon and "time" of the first full moon of the year per calendric sign.  Use this chart to determine the "first day of the year" for calendar cycle 1, 2 or 3.  This article, from a different resource that does NOT use the Qumran Calendar specifically but references it or consider a weekly 7 day pattern, but believes in taking note of the First Full Moon from spring of A.D. 31 to mark "time" for Jesus presence, gives the reason and methods for knowing how to find the proper "time" of Full-Moon each month.  Note: the Earth MOVES through space in such a way that the constellations appear to "shift" every 1000 years or so.  The stars will shift a full "moon station" every 2000 years....or about 7 completions of Calendric Signs Table.

4. Once you have step 3 "solved" and can determine what Calendar cycle you need (1,2 or 3), (sorry there is no magical computer program....only a general understanding of astronomy to guide you), go back to the link on step 1 and click the proper calendar cycle "image."  "Right Click" the image and select to copy the image.  Copy it to a new paintbrush file.

5. Open up a new MS word file.  Go to the paintbrush file and "cut out" one calendar image at a time from the paintbrush image.  Like this:

Paste each individual "month" onto a separate page in MS Word. 

6.  After all the calendar images are pasted into MS WORD, "right click" and copy each image at a time and paste into a NEW paintbrush file.  ADD in any details to the calendar that you would like.  Write in holiday information and other key details that are important such as sunset times, time for "modern Jewish" holidays, special days, location of the moon according to location among constellations, special farmer's almanac information, planet locations and so forth.  Use Stelarium or other astronomy or almanac information as need.  Copy the image from the new paintbrush image and REPLACE the image that was in MS WORD.

7.  Complete the editing for all 12 months.  Add in the bible references to the bottom of each page.  like these details: Abib -1 : Month mentioned (Num 9:1, Num 20:1, 1 Chr 12:15, 1 Chr 27:2, 1 Chr 27:3, 2 Chr 29:3, Joel 2:23) Day mentioned *1: Ezr 10:17, Ez 29:17, Ez 45:18, Gen 8:13, Ex 40:2, Ex 40:17, 2 Chr 29:17, Ezr 7:9 – *7: Ez 30:20 - *10: Josh 4:19 - *12: Ezr 8:31 - *13: Esth 3:92 - *14: Ex 12:18, Lev 23:5, Num 9:5, Num 28:16, 2 Chr 35:1, Ez 45:21 - *15: Num 33:3, 2 Chr 29:17, Ex 12:18, 2 Chr 29:17 - *16: 2 Chr 29:17 - *21: Ex 12:18 - *24: Dan 10:4.

Adjust the margins to "very narrow" margins.  Flip the pages to landscape if needed.  Adjust the "Size" of the image as needed and so forth.

8. Print the calendar pages.  Glue or staple these pages into a regular calendar!  Overlay the original "Gregorian Days" with the *calendar page* you created.  You may glue the month that is appropriate for the "moon rise time/location" (so a snowy picture doesn't look like it goes with the month of Abib, when it should go with the month of April).

9. Hang on your wall and create a conversation starter when guests come to your home ;)

Here are the proposed "days" and "moon rise time/location" for the Gregorian calendar year 2018....

*******

Qumran Calendar Year 6020??or 6017?? similar to modern messianic calendar or creator's Calendar

Hebrew Calendar Year 6021 or 6018

Qumran Calendar Rotation number (Calendric sign) - 224 (calendar cycle 2) with seventh year leap year.

3-31 - FM 2018

*** Proposed LEAP YEAR 4(8-14)- 2018***

1. Virgo Feet 4-30-18 (the calendar cannot begin unless the Full moon is below Virgo feet)

Scor 5-29-18

Sag 6-28-18

Cap 7-27-18

Aqu 8-26-18

pis 9-24-18

pis air 10-24-18

Taur 11-22

Gem 12-22

Gem Can 1-20

Leo 2-19

Virg 3-20

****************

Because the position of the moon changes in respect to the constellations, it would be suggested to change the "location" for the beginning of the year (Abib) to move ahead one step every 2058 years or every 7 (294 calendric sign years).  Seven is a common biblical number.

First full moon after spring equinox that is below virgo feet....location

31 :3-27 - virgo

325: 4-14 - virgo

619 :5-3 - Libra

913 :4-23 - Libra Scorp

1207: 5-13 - Scorp

1501: 5-2 - Libra

1795 5-3 - virgo Feet  *****notice how the full moon is a full month plus seven days difference from original location*****

2089..... propose to switch to adjust to Barley harvest?  (3-27) moon moves to thigh of Virgo?  because the next moon does NOT go below Virgo feet on (4-13)

So in the year 2089.....assume that the beginning of the year and calendric signs does NOT begin with the full moon below the Virgo feet, but when the full moon is at the Virgo thigh.......one step(or moon station) back....Many of us reading this blog post will be Centenarian by that time ;)

In the year 4147 change to...virgo shoulder...(then continue pattern for every 2058 years) .....virgo hand.....leo....regulus....cancer-leo.....cancer...... and so forth (well humanly speaking we won't be here on this earth at that time.....)
