How do we know if what the Jews, Messianic Teachers or 21st Century “scholars” say is actually the correct Hebrew calendar reckoning if the 66 book canon does not give us exact instructions? What do the Scriptures say we are to trust?
“To the Torah and to the Witness! If they do not speak according to this Word,
it is because they have no daybreak.”
-Isaiah 8:20
“And the dragon was enraged with the woman,
and he went to fight with the Remnant of Her Seed, those guarding
the Commands of Alahym and possessing the Witness of Yahusha Messiah.”
-Revelation 12:17
-So two things: the 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐡 and 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐡.
-His example IS the manifestation of the standard of Torah we will be judged by:
"Truly, then, having overlooked these times of ignorance, 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐲𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭, because He has set a Day on which He is going to 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐡𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝, having given proof of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
-Acts 17:30-31
He gave us the 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐡 to be an 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 and the right "Way", promising to all Believers "The Way" is "not too hard" to follow, nor the "Ancient Path" impossible to find:
"For this is the love for Alahym, that we guard His commands, and 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲,
because everyone having been born of Alahym overcomes the world.
And this is the overcoming that has overcome the world: our Belief. Who is the one who overcomes the world but he who Believes that יהושע is the Son of Alahym? This is the One that came by water and blood:
יהושע Messiah, not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears Witness, because the Spirit is the Truth. Because there are three who bear Witness: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in agreement. If we receive the Witness of men, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐲𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫, because 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐲𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐧.
The one who Believes in the Son of Alahym has the Witness in himself,

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐲𝐦 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐧."

"For this Command which I am Commanding you today, 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟.
It is not in the heavens, to say, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens for us, and bring it to us,
and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, to say, ‘Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?’
For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart – to do it."
-Deut. 30:11-13
And this is how the Father desires us to worship Him, in the way He requested, ON the exact Appointed Dates He gave, celebrating the Festivals He outlined in His Word:
"The woman said to Him, 'Master, I see that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain,
but you people say that in Yarushalam is the place where one needs to worship.' Yahusha said to her, ''𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧,

the One who is called Anointed. When that One comes, He shall announce to us all.' Yahusha said to her,
'I Who am speaking to you AM HE.'"
-John 4:19-24
Here the Messiah explained to the Samarian Woman He was "the One" (Shiloh: THE Son of the Creator who would take the Sceptre of Authority to Govern Torah, Gen. 49:10) to enlighten the world on what the Torah REALLY meant, and how to properly observe it NOW that He has come!
He also confirmed the Jews in Jerusalem were worshipping at the correct PLACE at THAT time, but by His Example and His Disciples', we see 𝐇𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐦 as 𝐇𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 and He also revealed the worship location would no longer be specific to Jerusalem from that time on!

Josephus, Wars of the Jews 4:582:
“And the last was erected above the top of the Pastophoria, where one the priests stood of course, and gave a signal beforehand with a trumpet, 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐀𝐘, 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓, 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃, as giving notice to the people when they were to STOP WORK, and when they were to GO TO WORK AGAIN.”
Josephus quoting Agatharchides, in "Against Apion 1:208" 200 BCE:
“When Agatharchides had premised this story, and had jested upon Stratonice for her superstition, he gives a like example of what was reported concerning us, and writes thus:-- 209 “There are a people called Jews, and dwell in a city the strongest of all other cities, which the inhabitants call Jerusalem, and 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐍 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐀𝐘; on which times they make no use of their arms, nor medle with husbandry, nor take care of any affairs of life, but spread out their hands in their set apart places and 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.”
A Roman soldier Frontinus who lived from 40 CE to 103 CE, in his military strategy book called Strategemcaticon 2.1.17 in 84 AD:
“The deified Augustus Vespasian attacked the Jews 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍, 𝐚 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒.”
The Roman Historian Cassius Dio on battles of Rome and the Jews
(63 BCE and 229 CE) in his work "Roman History 49.22.4-6":
“Most of the City, to be sure, he took without any trouble, as he was received by the party of Hyrcanus; but the Temple itself, which the other party had occupied, he captured only with difficulty. For it was on the high ground as was fortified by a wall of its own, and if they had continued defending it on all days alike, he could not have got possession of it. As it was, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍”, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 afford the Romans an opportunity in this interval to batter down the wall.

Cassius Dio in "Roman History 65.7.2" on a second battle 36 BCE:
“The Jews, indeed, has done much injury to the Romans, but they suffered far more themselves. The first of them to be captured were those who were fighting for the precinct of their deity, and 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍.

"After this, יהושע, knowing that all had been accomplished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, said, 'I thirst!' A bowl of sour wine stood there, and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and held it to His mouth. So when יהושע took the sour wine He said, 'It has been accomplished!'

-Notice, John consistently refers to the Festivals "𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐄𝐖𝐒", further distinguishing their incorrect reckoning from Yah's Proper Calendar reckoning:
"And the Passover 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐄𝐖𝐒 was near, and יהושע went up to Yarushalam." -John 2:13
"After this there was a Festival 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐄𝐖𝐒, and יהושע went up to Yarushalam." -John 5:1
"And the Passover was near, the Festival 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐄𝐖𝐒." -John 6:4
"Now the Passover 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐄𝐖𝐒 was near, and many went from the country up to Yarushalam
before the Passover, to set themselves apart." -John 11:55
But the Father said the Passover wasn't "𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐄𝐖𝐒" but for HIM:
"Guard the Month of Abyb, and perform the Passover 𝐓𝐎 יהוה 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐇𝐘𝐌." -Deut. 16:1
So... if Messiah wasn't keeping the Hellenized Lunisolar Calendar "𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐄𝐖𝐒" of the First Century in lieu of the Father's Set Apart Calendar, then what did exactly did that look like?

The Messiah didn't seem to disagree with this ideology, as He certainly rebuked them for similar accusations throughout His dealings with them (Mark 7:13, Matt. 23:33).

So what do these Books have to say?
The Calendric Reckoning Torah
𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐡 𝟕𝟐, 𝟕𝟓 & 𝟖𝟐 - Spring EQUILUX is last day of the Year (March 15-16 in Jerusalem, Israel where the Torah was established); the Year originally had 364 days divided into 364 days of 52 weeks, 4 seasons of 13 weeks/91 days of 30, 30, 31 days each exactly divided by the Solar Signs of the Sun on each 91st day to separate the Seasons and the constellations (6 stars of Temple of Yah/"Pegasus", Enoch 72:4) rotated to give credence to the end and beginning of the Year
Here, we March 15-16 sunset to sunset (Spring Equilux) is the closest day to "Equal Part Night & Day", whereas the day has already become more than the night by the time of the Spring Equinox (March 20-21). Therefore, proving the Equilux fits the description while eliminating the the Equinox as a possible definition of the Last Day of the Year.
𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐡 𝟕𝟒 - The moon should be dark and rise with the sun on the Spring Equilux to confirm the beginning of the year (now every 19th Year Lunar Cycle, 2018, 2037, etc); it is not the PHASE of the Moon which helps keep track of the Years, but the STATION of the moon from which degrees over the horizon it "rises and sets" with the Sun in stated months as a 3rd Witness to the end of the year every 19th lunar cycle
2018 Lunar Cycle proving the proper Last Day of the Year using the Sign of the Sun, Sign of the Stars and Sign of the Moon on (March 15-16) as seen from the horizon in Jerusalem, Israel on the Spring Equilux which reveals the
Stars of Yah/"Pegasus" rising with the Dark Moon as in the "Same Gate" as the Sun, just as required in Enoch 72.
𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐡 𝟕𝟖 - the moon doesn’t follow the pattern of months as Enoch and Jubilees require for 12 months every year of 52 weeks divided into four 13 week seasons of 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, 31, 30, 30, 31 day months because lunar months fluctuate between 28-30 days each and has a shorter year (354) than the sun originally which had 364 (Jub. 6:36, Enoch 74:5-16)
𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐡 𝟖𝟎 - during the “years of sin” the moon would go off its original course because heaven would “stand still” (this happened in the time of Joshua and Hezekiah), thus people will go wrong as to calculating the years and lose the proper seasons
𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 𝟏𝟎:𝟏𝟐-𝟏𝟒, 𝟐 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝟐𝟎:𝟏-𝟏𝟏, 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝟖𝟖:𝟔𝟒 & 𝟖𝟗:𝟖 - Now the lunar station and cycle only replays every 19th year to come in at the proper phase and rising with the sun on the last day of the year as required by Enoch 72. We now observe 365 solar days when we count from Equilux to Equilux, since the Equilux is the last day of the year per Enoch 72 and the solar signs don’t line up perfectly as before, but fall in their seasons
𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝟐:𝟗 - Yahuah made the SUN to divide the days and months and calculate the year for feasts (NOT the moon)
𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝟔 - the moon is only used to determine the 𝟒 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐦 (Festivals) each quarter which fall in the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th SOLAR Months (memorializing Noah's experience in the Great Flood), but people will go astray using the moon instead of the sun for the beginning of their months which will throw off their year and cause the seasons to come in out of the proper time
𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐡 𝟕𝟑:𝟓 & 𝟕𝟖:𝟏𝟒 - The definition of a new moon is when the first sliver of light is seen after a dark moon
-𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬:
1) 𝐉𝐮𝐛. 𝟓:𝟐𝟑 & 𝐆𝐞𝐧. 𝟕:𝟏𝟏-𝟏𝟒 - the New Moon of 2nd Month fell on the 17th day of the "2nd Month"
2) 𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝟔:𝟏, 𝟏𝟕-𝟏𝟖 - Shavuot was originally celebrated on the “New Moon of the Third Month” (the first time on the 16th day of the 3rd Month)
3) 𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝟏𝟒 - Shavuot was in the middle of the month
4) 𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝟏𝟓 - Shavuot was in the middle of the month
5) 𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝟒𝟒:𝟏-𝟔 - Shavuot was on the 7th of the month
However, we also know Jubilees 6 commands us to now celebrate Shavuot according to the timing given to Yasharal at Mt. Sinai. That torah explains it is commanded to be celebrated on the 50th day from the day of First Fruits which also falls on a Sunday/The First Day of the Hebrew Week because First Fruits was commanded to be celebrated on the "morrow after the Sabbath", while Shavuot (a High Shabbat) was commanded to be observed "on the morrow after counting 7 Sabbaths, 50 days later" (Levi. 23:9-23). This Calendar Reckoning was proven correct by the Witness of the Synoptic Gospel accounts and historical records of the 2nd Temple Sadducee leadership Calendar Reckoning (John 20:1 & 20:17, Heb. 9 & 1 Corin. 15:20).
