The interface of days, months, and years

A mindless formation of the Earth and Moon pair seems improbable in the regard that the spin and orbital cycles appear to be remarkably interrelated. Essentially, it is possible to interpret that the spin and orbital cycles do all interface together to divide the time stream into a functional arrangement.

Interrelated time design can be interpreted because the rate of the solar year can so perfectly be represented in time segments of the 24-hour day (the solar-day cycle). Likewise, the rate of the solar year can exactly be represented in time segments defined by the orbit of the Moon (the synodic-orbit cycle).

The most logical conclusion for an interface between the spin and orbital cycles is that the mechanical makeup of the Earth and Moon has resulted from creation processes, mindfully conducted.

As a consequence of the interaction of the spin-orbital cycles, a resident of the Earth perceives time differently than time would be perceived somewhere else--as in space. The good news here seems to be that each resident of this rotating Earth is alive in a time stream that--in all probability--has been functionally arranged.

Interfacing lunisolar cycles

It's easy to recognize that the spin and orbital cycles inherently divide the time stream into equally metered divisions. For example, the Earth rotates once every 24 hours, the Moon passes through one synodic revolution every 29.53059 days (on the average), and the Earth passes through one Tropical Year every 365.24219 days.

While these respective cycles might superficially appear to be very unrelated, a degree of interrelatedness can be interpreted from out of these seemingly disjointed time cycles.

Subsequent sections and accompanying articles will then attempt to show that time cycles generated by the Earth and Moon can be correlated to a time grid that appears to be intelligently arranged.

Interrelated time design

An interpretation of interrleated time design seems satisfactory based upon the phase rate of the Moon. The quarter-phase rate of the Moon inherently returns in interface with the rate of the tropical year (which is 365.24219 days).

Note that each synodic revolution of the Moon passes through four distinct quarter phases--as follows:

1. The new phase--when the Moon appears dark.
2. The first-quarter phase--when the Moon is half illuminated.
3. The full phase--when the Moon appears completely illuminated.
4. The last-quarter phase--when the Moon is half illuminated (the reverse of the first-quarter phase).

For the purposes of presenting a clear analysis, the quarter-phase cycle of the Moon will hereafer be refered to as the lunar-week cycle. Likewise, the time span of any specific quarter phase of the Moon will hereafter be refered to as the span of a lunar week. Note that each lunar week averages out to be about equal to seven and one-third days. The cycle of the lunar week is consequently a bit slower or longer than an ordinary week cycle of 7 days.

A time grid of lunar weeks can be shown to almost exactly overlay a time grid of solar years. In essence, based upon the spin and orbital phenomenon, the rate of the lunar-week cycle is easy to illustrate in cross-reference with the rate of the tropical year.

The indicated interface of the tropical year with the reoccurrence of the lunar week is quite precise--to within the average limits of 0.00198 days/year.

The following chart attempts to show that a time cycle of 50 tropical years can very closely be correlated or cross-referenced to a time grid comprised of specific lunar-week segments:

It seems to be significant that--when the time stream is represented by cycles of lunar quarters or lunar weeks--an accurate jubilee calendar comprised of lunar quarters or lunar weeks is the inherent result.

The jubilee calendar (as diagrammed) is quite precise (as cited) and achieves a calendar year of 365.2442 days (on the average). Thus, the average annual length of the tropical year (which is 365.2422 days) can closely be represented by a calendar comprised of lunar weeks.

The cited lunisolar cross-reference (a precise overlay) is based upon the modern rate of the lunar-quarter phase. It is here significant that ancient eclipse data indicates that the spin and orbital rates tend to vary by a tiny amount throughout time. Consequently, the cited time grid of lunar quarters may have once existed in perfect interface with a time grid of solar years. For additional information concerning the long-term accuracy and definition of the cited jubilee interface, refer to the online document entitled: 'Is There a Case for Created Time?'

It is here most remarkable that the track of a jubilee cycle of 7 sets of 7 years (and sometimes a 50th year) can be recited from ancient Israelite literature (including biblical). Some texts produced in the Second-Temple Era explicitly describe the rotation of the priestly courses in association with a jubilee schedule. When detailing the priestly rotation in association with a 49-year cycle, Scroll 4QOtot becomes rather explicit in describing the appearance of a lunar-cycle 'sign' (the 'ot', or plural 'otot') at the unending frequency of each third year. The source information that relates the early adherence to 7 sets of 7 years (and associated lunar-cycle reckoning) seems to mirror the possibility that Israel's priesthood possessed knowledge of the above cited jubilee interface. For additional information concerning the once adhered to count of 50 years, refer to the online publication: 'The Jubilee Cycle'.

The spin-orbits are synchronized

The spin-orbits can be interpreted to represent interrelated time design--as cited. This kind of interpretation seems more certain from the degree of synchronization by which the solar day returns in interface with the synodic period of the Moon.

It is here significant that the rotational phase of the Earth (the day rate) inherently interfaces or conjoins with the rate of the synodic revolution of the Moon. This conjoining reoccurs every 49 synodic cycles of the Moon. Essentially, when 7 sets of 7 lunar months (or 49 lunar months) have elapsed, the same rotational phase of the Earth comes into conjunction with the same orbital phase of the Moon.

The following diagram attempts to more fully illustrate that a cycle of 7 lunar months (cycled 7 times) very closely interfaces with the rate of the rotation of the Earth:

Note that 1447 days divided by the rate of the synodic-month cycle, or 29.53059 days, is equal to 49.0000 lunar months.

The cited synchronization of Earth's spin with 49 lunar orbits is very close (almost exact). Of significance is that the stated interface can be recognized as fully perfect if only the lunar cycle elapsed in 29.53061 days (a tiny bit different from the modern rate of 29.53059 days). The possibility then is that the conjoining of these two cycles may have once been fully perfect.

For pertinent information concerning the perfect closure of the rate of the rotation of the Earth with a seven-squared number of Moons (49 Moons), refer to 'Is There a Case for Created Time?'.

A systems view is possible

The two previously presented sections have attempted to show that the Moon cycle does seem to intelligently interrelate both with the annual transit of the Sun (the solar-year rate) and also with the spin of the Earth (the solar-day rate).

Interrelated time design can additionally be interpreted from the peculiar rate by which the synodic month of 29.53059 days does exceed a whole day rate of 29 days.

An amount of difference is inherent between the rate of the synodic month (29.53059 days on the average) and a whole-day count of 29 days. The cited difference between the two rates averages out to be a little over half a day--or 0.53059 days. (Note that 29.53059 days minus 29 days is equal to 0.53059 days).

Based upon the indicated half-day count difference by which the synodic month exceeds 29 days, it follows that if the rate of the synodic month is always counted out in correspondence with a whole-day rate (29 days) then the difference of the stated half-day rate (0.53059 days per lunar month) would eventually accumulate or accrue to the sum of exactly 105 half days in every cycle of 8 solar years.

The indicated correspondence between cycles of the Earth, Moon, and Sun is remarkable in the regard that 105 half days in 8 years is all but perfectly equal to the rate of 0.53059 days per lunar month.

Note that 0.53059 days per lunar month--if extended for the number of months in 8 years or for 98.94613 lunar months--is just about exactly equal to the length of 105 half days.

The cited half-day difference (0.53059 days per synodic month) is of seeming significance in the regard that the number of days in each synodic revolution can systematically be scribed relative to always 29 days (as a rate of whole days). The residual rate of fractional days (0.53059 days per lunar month) can then routinely be intercalated according to a separate or a secondary rate of days. Because the stated secondary rate of days is inherently equal to 105 half days every 8 solar years then the occurrence of a periodic 30th day in the lunar-month cycle can be accounted for around a schedule that is formal and fixed.

Refer to the subsequent section for pertinent information concerning the significance of intercalating the 30th day of both the lunar month and the solar month.

Thus, the number of days in each synodic revolution of the Moon can be used to precisely scribe the limits of a cycle of 8 solar years (in average time).

A scribe of 29 days per lunar month and the additional scribe of 105 half days has an 8-year average that equals 2921.93769 days. (This 8-year average quite perfectly correspondends with the limits of 8 solar years--which is equivalent to 2921.93752 days).

The cited correspondence between the lunar period and the day cycle can be used to very precisely determine the limits of 8 solar years (on the average). In this modern era, the cited half day bounds with the epoch of each 8th year to within a difference of only 15 seconds (which is a difference of less than 2 seconds per year). The average annual result of the cited scribe is almost perfect. (Due to the tiny rate by which the spin of the Earth appears to be slowing down, the cited lunisolar correspondence can be predicted to have at one time been absolutely perfect. The time when a perfect alignment did exist can be predicted at only a few centuries ago.)

For additional information concerning the stated spin and orbital interface, refer to the following online publication: 'Time Portals or Annual Gates'.

An indication of related time design

Certain records written down in Israel's Temple Era appear to contain a very plausible interpretation that points to interrelated time design.

In example, a rather detailed interpretation of the workings of "the luminaries of heaven" can be recited from an astronomical book attributed to the patriarch Enoch. The following English translation of portions of the astronomical book has been borrowed from 'The Ethiopian Enoch', by Laurence:

Chapter 71: "The book of the revolutions of the luminaries of heaven, according to... their respective periods... and their respective months... according to every year of the world for ever... ." Skipping to Chapter 73: "... I beheld their stations... according to the fixed order of the months the Sun rises and sets... thirty days belonging to the Sun... to the Sun and stars... thirty days belonging to them... The Moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision... The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the Moon, and the station of the Sun... which rise and set in them for thirty days."

Based upon portions of the Enoch literature, it is apparent that the ancients did once track equally distributed days or time stations. One day or station was routinely tracked using the Sun as a reference. Also, one day or time station was routinely tracked using the Moon as a reference. In addition, a day or time station may have been attributed to the stars.

Some versions of the astronomical book of Enoch have that celestial stations (those of the Sun and the stars) bring on all the "world stations" exactly.

The early-written texts are very clear in reflecting that early astronomers interpreted each and every year cycle around a specific number of days or time stations. Each passing annual circle appears to have been measured and metered out in correspondence with a fixed number of celestial stations and a fixed number of world stations.

The noted method of measuring and metering the annual circle was based upon a continuous track of specific 'time stations'. The indicated celestial station of the Sun appears to have been tracked in correspondence with a running cycle of 30 days. The associated station of the Moon was probably tracked in correspondence with a cycle of 7 lunar weeks. An indicated additional time station appears to have been attributed to the stars. This respective time station was probably predicated upon the amount of lag by which the Moon falls behind the stars on its 30th day (as is further shown below).

The ancient method of determining the limits of the Tropical Year using celestial time stations is significant in the regard that the length of each passing solar year can very effectively (almost perfectly) be measured and metered out through an ongoing scribe of fixed time cycles. Essentially, the length of the solar year (365.24219 days) can EXACTLY be correlated to a fixed number of world stations through the separated accounting of the cited celestial time stations.

An accurate meter of the solar year is possible if the cited celestial stations of the Sun and Moon are continuously scribed. It is here pertinent that each respective celestial time station must be accounted for separately from the other days that comprise the time stream.

Note that the rate of one day in each cycle of 30 days inherently achieves 12.17474 days per year as time stations of the Sun. Also, the rate of one day in each cycle of 7 lunar weeks achieves 7.0676 days per year as time stations of the Moon. These two rates of days (celestial time stations) are then equivalent to a total of 19.24232 days or stations per year (in average time). It then follows that--if 19.24232 days each year are accounted for as celestial time stations--a scribe of all the other days (346 annual stations) can be used to exactly measure and meter out each passing solar year. Note that the rate of the solar year of 365.24219 days minus the rate of the cited celestial time stations (19.24232 days) is equal to a fixed number of annual days (always 346 days or annual stations).

The average result of tracking 346 annual stations or Earth stations in correspondence with 19.24232 celestial stations is perfect to within a difference of only 11.2 seconds per year! Remarkable is that the annual result of tracking celestial time stations can be recognized as fully or absolutely perfect relative to the rate of the solar year only several centuries before.

Refer to the online publication: 'The Moon as a Time Meter' for specific information concerning the perfect accuracy inherent in tracking celestial time stations.

The astronomical book of Enoch further indicates that some among the primal astronomers did once reckon annual gates or portals in association with the 4 divisions (four quarters) of the year.

The early reckoning of at least 6 annual gates or 6 annual portals relative to 4 specific divisions of the year can be recited from portions of the Enoch literature--as follows:

"... [days corresponding with four divisions] belong to the reckoning of the year... one in the first portal and one in the third, and one in the fourth and one in the sixth..." (Chapter 82:4-6).

To more clearly illustrate the significance of tracking equal divisions in each annual circle, the replica of an early-used zodiac calendar (a photograph) is subsequently shown:

Note that 6 divisions--drawn in with yellow marker on the photograph--have been added in an attempt to better show the positioning of the cited 6 portal divisions relative to the tropical zodiac.

If a quarter division of the tropical year appeared in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th of the cited gates or portals then a given conclusion is that one of the annual-quarter divisions would have been reckoned from about the middle of the 1st portal. Subsequent quarter divisons would then have commenced in correspondence with the beginning of the 3rd portal... and again the middle of the 4th portal... and yet again at the beginning of the 6th portal.

In reference to the above diagram, each day that corresponds with a new portal division is counted 6 times per solar year. Likewise each day that corresponds with an annual-quarter division is counted 4 times per solar year. This respective count of portal and quarter-division days inherently subdivides each solar year into 12 subdivisions (of 28 stations each). What is here remarkable is that the solar year (or the Tropical Year) of 365.24219 days can effectively be accounted for (on the average) by simply counting solar days.

Through the ongoing scribe of 346 annual stations, it is clear that primal astronomers would have been capable of effectively (perfectly) measuring and metering the rate of the Tropical Year.

The indicated effective time track of the solar year with annual quarter and with portal divisions then points to the possibility that--on the average--some among the early astronomers may have been right on par with modern astronomers.

Through the reckoning of time stations, the limits of each passing Tropcial Year (on the average) could have been determined to within the limits of even perfect precision.

Significance of portals

It here seems pertinent to note that the cited 6 annual divisions may have been tracked in pace with the lunar cycle. This possibility is recognizable in the regard that a day count of the lunar-month cycle inherently alternates between 29 days and 30 days.

The inherent rates of 29.53059 days per lunar month and 12.36827 lunar months per year make it possible to interpret a 30th Moon day around a schedule that is formal or fixed. Essentially, a 30th day can be counted in the lunar-month cycle at a frequency of always 6 times per year. The count of a 30th day (always 6 times per year) requires the additional count of a special lunisolar day at the frequency of every 7th season.

The reoccurrence of a 30th Moon day (6 per year) seems to reinforce the possibility that the lunar-month cycle may have been the basis for determining the noted annual portals or gates--also 6 per year.

The Enoch texts show the ancients interpreted the Moon to lag the Sun and stars at a reoccurring rate of 6 days per year. The 30th Moon day--as an intercalated day--may then have been reckoned relative to a time portal or gate (6 times per year).

Through a perpetual accounting of the cited celestial time stations it then seems to be significant that an early astronomer would inherently have been capable of effectively determining each annual quarter and each zodiac division of the year cycle.

The time track of celestial time stations among astronomer-priests of the ancient past can be detected from certain portions of those texts that comprise the Sea Scroll Library and also from passages of the cited astronomical book attributed to Enoch. The ancient reckoning of cycles of the 30th day and the 7th week can also be recited from Bible sources, Philo Judaeus, the rabbis, and from miscellaneous sources. For additional information concerning the early track of celestial time stations, refer to the following online publication: Time Portals or Annual Gates.

In summary to the above, the following diagram is presented to show that--in pace with celestial time stations--each passing annual-quarter division can easily and effectively be metered:

Remarkable about the interpretation of fixed time stations is that a formal count of solar days can be used to so exactly define and delimit each solar year into 12 equal divisions. (This is true in average time).

Day and year cycles

Other interpretations seem plausible in their indication of interrelated time design. One of these interpretations concerns the rate by which Earth's spin returns in interface with the annual transit of the Sun. The indicated day-to-year interface makes it possible to ultimately conclude that the solar-day unit is an element or a component of a time-tracking system that may be intellegent in design.

The essence of the stated interpretation of the solar day in interface with the solar year is that when Earth's spin (the solar-day rate) is accounted for in specific units of 10 days then certain arrangements of the 10-day cycles can quite exactly be correlated or cross-referenced to the epoch of each passing solar-year cycle. To be more specific, it is demonstrable that when the track of a specific cycle of 20 days is routinely performed then the rate of each passing solar year can effectively be cross-referenced or correlated to a fixed number of day cycles. Oddly enough, this is also true concerning the track of a specific cycle of 30 days, and this is also true concerning the track of a specific cycle of 40 days!

3. Was the Flood of Noah a Real Event?

A functional time schedule

Significant to a study of interrelated time design is that the rate of the solar year and also the rate of the synodic month can both be normalized or represented by specific cycles of solar days--as previously has been cited.
