Chapter ContentsAstronomical data is used to determine the sacred calendar. One source for determining astronomical data is: |
The Sacred DayAccurate determination for the Sacred Calendar is based on the time of the Sacred Day in Jerusalem. The coordinates for the assumed location of the temple in Jerusalem, IS are approximately Latitude/Longitude 31° 46' 41" N, 35° 14' 7" E.
Here are some WikiMapia and Google aerial photographs.
The approximate coordinates for the probable location of Golgotha are 31° 46' 41" N, 35° 14' 40" E or Latitude: 31.778056 Longitude: 35.244444. The local time zone is 2 hours east of Greenwich but I do not use the local time as a reference. I use Universal time for all calculations. These calculations are for the Sacred Year, which begins in 2008. This is the complete Sunrise/Sunset data of the Gregorian Calendar year 2008 for determining the start of the day: http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/rs-one-year-us JERUSALEM, IS Location: E035 15, N31 47 Universal Time Rise and Set for the Sun for 2008 Jan.

The Sacred MonthThe start of the month is determined by locating the time of the astronomical new moon. Find the next sunrise in Jerusalem, and the next sunset is the beginning of the month. This is also described by this rule. Add 2 days to the Gregorian date of the astronomical new moon unless, the new moon is before sunrise in Jerusalem, then add only 1.

The Sacred YearThe start of the year is determined by locating the time of the spring equinox. Find the earliest month in which sunrise of the 14th day is after the equinox. This day is Passover Eve and the month is the first month of the year. This is the complete Equinox data of the Gregorian Calendar year 2008 - 2013 for determining the start of the year: http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/earth-seasons Universal Time d h d h m d h m 2008 2008 Perihelion Jan 3 00 Equinoxes Mar 20 05 48 Sept 22 15 44 Aphelion July 4 08 Solstices June 20 23 59 Dec 21 12 04 2009 2009 Perihelion Jan 4 15 Equinoxes Mar 20 11 44 Sept 22 21 18 Aphelion July 4 02 Solstices June 21 05 45 Dec 21 17 47 2010 2010 Perihelion Jan 3 00 Equinoxes Mar 20 17 32 Sept 23 03 09 Aphelion July 6 11 Solstices June 21 11 28 Dec 21 23 38 2011 2011 Perihelion Jan 3 19 Equinoxes Mar 20 23 21 Sept 23 09 04 Aphelion July 4 15 Solstices June 21 17 16 Dec 22 05 30 2012 2012 Perihelion Jan 5 00 Equinoxes Mar 20 05 14 Sept 22 14 49 Aphelion July 5 03 Solstices June 20 23 09 Dec 21 11 11 2013 2013 Perihelion Jan 2 05 Equinoxes Mar 20 11 02 Sept 22 20 44 Aphelion July 5 15 Solstices June 21 05 04 Dec 21 17 11 2014 2014 Perihelion Jan 4 12 Equinoxes Mar 20 16 57 Sept 23 02 29 Aphelion July 4 00 Solstices June 21 10 51 Dec 21 23 03 The day of Passover Eve is the first 14th day (full moon) of a month where the sun rises at Golgotha (Jerusalem) after the spring equinox. The month containing Passover is the start of the Sacred Year. Usually, the year cannot begin before March 8 or later than April 7. Months, which begin on about March 8 need to verify the sunrise on the 14th day occurs after the time of the equinox to qualify as the first month.

Table of Months 2008-2013The following table shows a summary of the information for all the Sacred Months 2008-2013 (All times are GMT). The Gregorian date and time of the astronomical new moon is compared to the time of sunrise and when the months begin. The month of the year is also indicated. The Jewish Calendar follows a formula and arbitrary rules which do not exactly match the astronomical data. The dates for the first month (Rosh Chodesh Nisan) and the seventh month (Rosh Hashana) on the Jewish Calendar are shown for comparison purposes. As previously stated, the Jewish Calendar averages later and later as the centuries pass. In the years listed below, the first month on the Jewish Calendar is sometimes before the equinox and matches the methods determined in this book for the start of the year but it does not match the Millerite determination. Sometimes, the first month of the Jewish Calendar falls after the equinox when the methods of this book determine the first month should be before the equinox and agrees with the Millerite determination. The Millerite method of calendar determination places the beginning of the first month ("New Year") after the equinox instead of the first yearly Sabbath ("Passover") after the equinox. This difference is described in detail in the chapter on the Sacred Year. When the Millerite first month differs, it is shown as M2.
