The ancient sun cross has been found in many places. It is
mostly found in Europe and North America.
It is an ancient Celtic and Anglo-Saxon symbol. The sun cross symbol was in use
prior to Noah’s flood. The sun cross
can be traced back to Enoch’s solar calendar and Noah’s quarterly celebrations
of the seasons established after the flood.
It is an ancient paleo-Hebrew symbol meaning ownership, seal and sign referring to our Father in Heaven.

Sun Crosses on Hieroglyphs
The
Sun Cross was a very popular symbol in the Mississippi Valley and Southeast
America in ancient times. See this
article for more information. See this
article to view the sun cross on an ancient
cup found in Illinois.
The Ancient Mark or Sign
Two crossed sticks in the shape of an ‘X’ or ‘t’ in ancient paleo-Hebrew
meant ‘owner’s mark’. Therefore these ancient
sun crosses are also an ancient mark indicating ownership belongs to their
Father in Heaven.
For more information, see Christian Flag
history and the similar ‘Chi-Rho’
Jesus Christ symbol represented as ‘XP’.
Christians who were illiterate signed their name with the ‘x’
indicating they were Christians and belonged to their Father in Heaven. Jews did oppose using the mark of an 'x' and instead used a circle to sign their name.
Ancient Solar Calendars
Reflected below are ancient calendar wheel of the year that
the descendants of Noah used to track time.
They all tracked the Equinoxes and Solstices which are used to determine
the start of each season. Some calendars,
like the Celtic and Tewa calendars, also tracked the midpoint between each
season which is called cross quarter days.
The Celtic calendar also tracked the sun’s position in each
constellation; this is used to determine a sidereal day (more info below).
The Cross Quarter Dates are actually tracking the Bear
Ursa Major Constellation for festival dates.
The Celtic Wheel of the year is organized just like Enoch’s
calendar says it should be organized. It
has four equal quarters of the year representing the four seasons. It is
tracking the sun and the stars as described by Enoch.
Enoch’s Calendar
Enoch’s calendar is described in the Book of Enoch in
chapter 82.
“Blessed
are all the righteous, blessed are all those who walk In the way of
righteousness and sin not as the sinners, in the reckoning of all their
days in which the
sun traverses the heaven, entering into and departing from the
portals for thirty
days with the heads of thousands
of the order of the stars, together with the four which are intercalated which divide the four
portions of the year, which lead them and enter with them four days.”
Enoch 82:4-5
Enoch goes
on to tell that the solar year is divided into four quarters of 91 days
each. 91 days divided by 7 days in each week
equals 13 weeks for each quarter as the Book of Jubilees states. Reflected below are the four quarters or
seasons of the year described by Enoch:
Below is Enoch’s monthly calendar of 12 months each year:

The ‘sun cross’ actually represents the earth’s four seasons
based on the sun’s overhead position.
The Celtic Wheel of the Year and Tewa calendar are in agreement with
Enoch’s calendar of four equal seasons of 91 days each.
Noah’s descendants implemented methods to track the sun,
moon and the stars based instructions received from Noah’s grandfather Enoch.
These instructions are documented in the book of Enoch and were given to
Enoch by the angel Uriel. The sun and stars are used for telling time. The moon is used as a sign and tool that also
helped ensure the calendar is correct since the
cycle of the moon repeats itself every three years as shown on the Dead Sea
Scroll calendar.
Noah’s descendants tracked the equinoxes and the solstices
since they occur at the end of each quarter. This was verification that the new
season or quarter would be starting.
They were not to actually celebrate the day of the equinox and solstices
these were just time keeping tools to ensure their calendar was correct. They were to celebrate the first day of each
quarter. I believe the reason they were
not to celebrate the equinoxes and solstice is because the equinoxes occur on
different dates around the world depending on where you live. Alaska, for example has a longer winter than
does Mexico. Today our calendars give
the date for the equinoxes and solstice based on universal time and not local
time. This is also true for the new moon
and full moon dates on our printed calendar are also given based on universal
time and not local time. The date and
time of the equinoxes and solstice have to do with the tilt of the earth
sometimes called the circuit of the sun.
“In the sun
he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his
chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course. His going forth is from the
extremity of heaven, and his circuit to
the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.” Psa
19:5-6
A model of Enoch’s solar gates has been discovered
in Peru that works just as Enoch and King David described (above).
Watch how the sun travels through the gates or tops of the hills as described
by Enoch and King David. This solar calendar is in the southern
hemisphere so it is opposite of how we would use it in the northern hemisphere
to tell the time of the year.
Here is an Inca
solar calendar that works the same as the gates in Peru above. The Inca gates do note the date of April 3rd,
which is typically when Passover occurs. These gates are in the northern hemisphere.
The diagram below shows how the circuit of the sun works using a ‘sun cross’ or ‘Celtic Cross’ to mark the earth’s equator and meridian. The sun’s circuit stays always between the
Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn which are marked positions on the
earth.
The Enoch calendar given to Noah is based on the latitude of
the earth and the sun’s course is between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic
of Capricorn. The equator is the center
point of the sun’s course. Locations in
the extreme north or south experience the season differently than those on the
equator; therefore these extreme locations do not have equal
seasons of 91 days each described in the book of Enoch and the book of Jubilees
agrees stating 13 weeks for each season.
The circle on the Celtic cross represents the earth and the
inner circle represents the sun’s direct
impact of its rays shining on the earth between the Tropic of Cancer and
the Tropic of Capricorn. The Sun reaches
the observer's zenith when it is 90° above the horizon, and this only happens
between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. So the sun’s tabernacle is
between these two tropic lines and it where the sun runs its course. The cross itself represents the meridian and
the equator. If you place the cross on the equator the seasons are 91 days each
like Enoch said. There is a very ancient
astronomical observatory in Ecuador called Monte Catequilla where the
calculation is perfect and many believe this location is the true ‘middle of
the world’. The GPS location is 0°00'00.0"N
78°25'43.3"W. Monte Catequilla
has alignments
to the equinoxes and solstices.
Monte Catequilla is the true ‘middle of the earth’ for
determining the equinoxes and solstices since it meet these requirements: The equinoxes and solstices are on the 91st
day of each quarter and fall on a Tuesday.
The sun was created on the fourth day of the week, which is now called
Wednesday (Gen 1:16); therefore the 91st day of the first quarter
would fall on a Tuesday (see calendar below & DSS
calendar). The New Year must
consistently begin in the spring on a Wednesday so that the Sabbath day is on
Saturday and so
the weekly cycle of seven days is never broken. Our Sabbath day must continue to be in
agreement with our Father in Heavens Sabbath day which is the seventh day (Gen
2:1-3). According to the Dead Sea Scroll
Temple Calendar on the first day of the year (first day of spring), every third
year, there must be a full moon and on March 20, 2019 there will be a full moon
(DSS,
lunar cycle 1)
Below shows how the earth spin making the sun’s zenith
change during the year.
Today we define a year by the earth’s orbit around the sun
which is called a topical year. When the year makes one complete orbit around
the sun and gets back to it starting position that is called a tropical year
and that takes 365.25 days. Enoch’s year
was based on the sun’s position on the equator.
When the sun reaches its zenith on the equator during March a new year
of 364 days begins.
Noah’s Quarterly Celebrations
The book of Jubilees provides more information than the book
of Genesis does regarding the covenant that our Father in Heaven made with Noah
and his descendants. It states Noah’s
descendants were to celebrate the first day of the first, fourth, seventh, and
tenth months which use to be the first day of the beginning of each season on
the old Enoch calendar, Celtic Wheel of the Year and the Native American
calendar shown above. These are celebrations based on the sun’s position on
earth.
“And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the first month,
and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the fourth month,
and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the seventh month,
and on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four
divisions of the year. These are written and ordained as a testimony for ever. And Noah ordained
them for himself as feasts for the generations for ever, so that
they have become thereby a memorial unto him. And on the new moon [sic..
1st day] of the first month he was bidden to make for himself an
ark, and on that (day) the earth became dry and he opened (the ark) and saw the
earth. And on the new moon [sic.. 1st day] of the fourth
month the mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed. And on the new
moon [sic.. 1st day] of the seventh month all the mouths of the
abysses of the earth were opened, and the waters began to descend into them.
And on the new moon [sic.. 1st
day] of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen, and Noah was glad.
And on this account he ordained them for himself as feasts for a memorial for
ever, and thus are they ordained. And they placed them on the heavenly
tablets, each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial,
from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the
third to the fourth. And all the days of the commandment will be two and fifty
weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete. Thus it is
engraven and ordained on the heavenly tablets. And there is no neglecting (this commandment)
for a single year or from year to year. And
command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according to
this reckoning-
three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a
complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its
feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their testimony, and
they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts. But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to
His commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be
dislodged from this (order),
[and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged] and they
will neglect their ordinances. And all the children of Israel will forget and
will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and
seasons, and sabbaths and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years.
For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto thee, and it is not of my
own devising; for the book (lies) written before me, and on the heavenly
tablets the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the
covenant and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and
after their ignorance. For there will be those who will assuredly make observations
of the moon -how (it) disturbs the seasons and comes in from year to year ten
days too soon. For this reason the
years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable
(day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they
will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with
the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and
jubilees. For this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayst testify
to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that they
will not make the
year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this reason
they will go wrong as to the new moons and seasons and sabbaths and festivals,
and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh. ” Jubilees 6:22-38
Note: Please see this article that
shows the words ‘new
moon’ should not be in the text above and are a translation error. Our
seasons are dictated by the circuit of the sun and not the moon. The moon is for signs only.
According to the
book of Jubilees and the Dead Sea Scrolls the old calendar was arranged as
shown above in the book of Enoch. The first
day of the first, forth, seventh, and tenth months were the first day of each
season and quarter of the year which should always be on the 4th day
of the week so that the calendar stays in sync with its creation date indicated
in Genesis chapter one.
Our Father in Heaven
wanted us to celebrate the first day of each season to ensure that we keep
track of time accurately and we did not forget HIS calendar.
Ancient Time Tracking Tools
Noah’s descendants invented the ancient staff and cross to
measure angles of the sun, moon and stars to ensure their calendar was correct
so that they celebrated the feast days on the correct dates.
During biblical times they used a staff to identify cardinal
directions using the sun and stars similar to how we use a compass today. Here are a few examples.
Jacob Israel had a staff which he brought with him as he
crossed the Jordan River:
“And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O
Lord, thou art he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of thy birth, and
I will do thee good. Let there be to
me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which thou hast wrought
with thy servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am
become two camps.” Sep Gen 32:9-10
“By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph;
and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.” ASV Hebrews 11:21
Judah had a staff:
“And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I
am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is
this ring and bracelet and staff.” Sep Gen 38:25
King David found comfort by owning a staff:
“Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will
not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff,
these have comforted me.” Sep Psa 23:4
Jesus tells the apostles to not take their staff when he
sent them out to preach the gospel:
“And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority
over all demons, and to cure diseases. And he sent them forth to preach the
kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for
your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money;
neither have two coats.” ASV Luke 9:1-3
The Greeks had an ancient computer they developed to compute
the motion of astronomical positions
and eclipses for calendar and astrological uses called
the Antikythera
mechanism. It was found on the
bottom of the ocean as part of a ship wreck. They believe that it is dated to about 100
BC. This mechanism also had the names of
the constellation on it. It had the ability to tell time based on the sun, moon
and stars.
The children of Noah built precise time tracking mounds and
petroglyphs to track the angle of the sun in relationship to the earth.
Chaco Canyon is only a 3 hour drive away from the Los Lunas stone
which reflects the 10 commandments in Paleo-Hebrew. This 10
commandment stone is the oldest in the world and it does have a spiral
petroglyph next to it.
Only the
Children of Noah would have cared about precise time tracking to ensure their
feast days were on the correct dates and to keep their agriculture year on
track.
The Sidereal Day verses the Tropical Day
Noah’s descendants’ tracked time based upon a sidereal day not a
tropical day. The book of Enoch and book
of Jubilees both state that the year is to be 364 days.
“And
command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according to
this reckoning- three
hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a complete year,
and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts.” Jubilees 6:32
“On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day
to nine parts, and the night is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three
hundred and sixty-four.” Enoch 72:32
Here are the definitions of each:
Sidereal Day
A measurement of time relative to
the position of the stars and relating to a measurement
of time relative to the point of the vernal equinox. A sidereal day is
approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes. As shown on the Celtic Wheel of the
Year above, the sun’s position within the constellation is used to determine
time.
Topical Day
The Tropical Day is based on the Topical Year of 365.25
day. A civil day is used that starts midnight:
this is near the time of the lower culmination of the Sun on the
central meridian of the time zone. Such a day may be referred to as
a calendar day. A day is commonly divided into 24 hours of 60 minutes,
with each minute composed of 60 seconds.
Difference
The time difference between a sidereal day and civil day is
24 hours.
·
The civil day is 4 minutes longer than a
sidereal day. 4 minutes x 364 equals
1456 minutes a year. 1456 minutes
divided by 60 minutes equals 24.26 hours.
·
The civil day is 4 minutes longer than a
sidereal day. 4 minutes x 365 equals 1460
minutes a year. 1460 minutes divided by
60 minutes equals 24.33 hours.
Sidereal time keeping agrees with the Enoch,
Jubilees and Celtic Wheel of the Year reflecting a year of 364 days.
Wheel of the Year
The ‘Celtic Wheel of the Year’ calendar was also established
on the ground to track the sun’s movement and the time of the year. In North America they are called Medicine
Wheels and in Europe they are called a Stonehenge’s. All of these could track time based on the
position of the sun and stars. Some also tracked the moon.
The Medicine Wheels and Stonehenge’s of the world are
further proof that Noah’s descendants knew how to track time very early and
built monuments to prove it. The Majorville
Cairn and Medicine Wheel site in Alberta Canada dates all the way back to
3200 BC; therefore was built shortly after the Noah’s flood event.
The
Celtic Wheel of the Year, the Enoch calendar, the Jubilees calendar and the
Dead Sea Scrolls temple calendar all agree with Genesis chapter one as follows:
Conclusion
The ‘sun cross’ is an important part of our Celtic and
Anglo-Saxon heritage. The Celtic Sun
Cross represents the cardinal directions and seasons that our Father in Heaven
created. Old pictures of Jesus reflect him
with a ‘sun cross’ behind HIS head since HE provides us with the light of
liberty and good directions for us to follow.

In traditional cultures and in antiquity other epochs were used. In ancient

This may be related to the fact that the Egyptians regulated their year by
the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, a phenomenon
which occurs in the morning just before dawn.
