“Knowledge paves the way to
love, and love in its turn fosters overstanding, and leads one along the path
of great common achievement for one’s country (H.I.M. Emperor Selassie I)”.

ABSTRACT
This essay will attempt to
scrutinise the pauperisation programmes that were been implemented by the
Western empires and Arabian dynasties to Aethiopian land and her children. In
doing so, the essay will briefly unravel how these colonialists forces occupied
and eventually inserted their respective ideals. Lastly, it will highlight the
significance of this ceremony in relation to the total liberation of the
Aethiopia land.
The essay will reveal the
concept of millennium as it is defined as “a period of 1, 000 years especially
of return Christ’s – Emperor Selassie I the First and Forever, as it was
prophesised that he will reign on earth and that will be characterised by
happiness – total emancipation and prosperity – self determination (Rev.
20:1-5)”. The Aethiopian Millennium comes after seven (7) years of western
world millennium which was highly celebrated by the colonisers in their and in
their colonies around globe. The past western millennium continued on the
standards that were set by their earlier architects based on the Papal doctrines.
So far, the western millennium has proven beyond reasonable doubt that really
it was meant to enhance western values even in their respective colonies. The
notion of colonies remains vibrant as ever as old days of Julius Caesar, where
slave drivers were direct control not in nowadays where they have remote
controlled leadership in their colonies through their well-trained
assimilators.
Introduction
This essay will attempt to
scrutinise the pauperisation programmes that were been implemented by the Western
empires and Arabian dynasties to Aethiopian land and her children. In doing so,
the essay will briefly unravel how these colonialists forces occupied and
eventually inserted their respective ideals. Lastly, it will highlight the
significance of this ceremony in relation to the total liberation of the
Aethiopia land.
Before we endeavour to what is
suggested above, it will be wise to understand what one is talking about when
is referring to the concept of millennium. Other literature notes that millennium
is defined as “a period of 1, 000 years especially of Christ’s prophesised
reign on earth that will be characterised by happiness and prosperity (Rev.
20:1-5)”. The Aethiopian Millennium comes after seven (7) years of western
world millennium which was highly celebrated by the colonisers in their and in
their colonies around globe. This western millennium continued on the standards
that were set by their earlier architects. So far, the western millennium has
proven after seven (7) years that really it was meant to enhance western values
even in the colonies. The notion of colonies remains vibrant as ever as old
days of Julius Caesar, where slave drivers were direct control not in nowadays
where they remote controlled leadership
their colonies through their well trained assimilators.
Background
For us in the Ethiopia south to
be able to understand the purpose and the narration about the untold story of
the Aethiopian/African Millennium, it will be unjust for us not to highlight
the true settings under the sun as they stand. In this instance, the western
and Arabian pauperisation projects of Aethiopia and her children cannot go
without any scrutiny at this occasion. Therefore, Western and Arabian worlds
remain accused for the malformation of the Black person concerning their
inheritance. This malformation took place through various barbaric and
extremely vicious way such as slavery, modern slavery –worker mentality, land
dispossessions, forced abdication of African Nobility and information
deprivation and pseudo- education system[2].
Pseudo-education system is perpetuated highly in the colonies through their set
norms that were inherited from western colonisers after the so granted
fiefdoms. These fiefdoms are used mechanism to hypnotise the minds of oppressed
in order for the master to continue looting undisturbed in the name of
civilisation. In the meantime, the elected few continue to aspire to join the
ranks of multimillionaire affair and fame at the expense of the Black race.
The assimilators leadership
they are not thought on the Aethiopian affair that is why even when they are
given power they tend to behave like their master and fight sit to the masters
sit irrespective of its concocted nature. These assimilators in all spheres of
social setting they tend to be the obstacle when we advance in the long march
for emancipation of the race. The hate themselves and anybody whoever try to
raise the true teachings about the true purpose of Jah to his people. They
forget one thing that what was prophesised
that truth will never be hidden forever because today we are rejoicing
in the name of His Imperial Majesty, The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah,
The Elect of Himself, The Everliving Ruler Emperor Selassie I indeed redeemed
the world from the vicious and greedy schemes from the papal family.
This essay will not cover the
early composition of Rome as nation but it will focus specifically to the
characters within Roman Empire that had great influence distorting of knowledge
systems and historical development of the world today as it stands. The
relevance of Rome in concoction of knowledge in the world started especially
with the rise of the Roman Period around 63 B.C[3].
This period is preceded by the two decades of rule over Jews by Queen Salome
Alexandra. Alexandra had two sons John Hycranus II and Aristobulus, which later
fought over the throne after the death of their mother in 67 B.C. Eventually,
the former won the throne in 63 B.C., through the support from Pompey who
contended with Julius Caesar. Hycranus rule lasted for five years due to
competition over the throne from Antipater, later he was granted a position of
“procurator” – (chief provincial official) of Judea in 47 B.C. after Caesar
defeated Pompey. This whole setc-up prepared the stage for Antipater’s son,
Herod. In 40 B.C., Herod was appointed as the kings of the Jews. Herod that
facilitated assurance of Marc Antony and through him then gains trust of
Octavian, Augustus Caesar (1993:1367).
The Three Years War between the
Ptolemies of Egypt and Seleucids of Syria for the control of Palestine was
fought for control of Palestine (Number 24:17). Later the great temples that
were constructed for the glory and worship of Yahweh was ruined in 586 B.C.
after the crushing of Nebuchadnezzar armies. The remainders of Judeans were
carried of to Babylon (present ) as spoils of war and that began the Babylonian
Captivity (586- 538 B.C.) and foundation of synagogues were established and
schools replaced the function of the temple and alternate observance of
sacrificial rituals, law and traditions of the Jewish culture (1993:1360). For
example, according to Luke in the Pentecost account (Act 2:5-12), the ancient
church had an established customary pilgrimages to Jerusalem. Furthermore, ancient
Christian Community observed tenets of Jewish Law such as dietary restriction,
holy calendar observances, temple tributes and circumcision. Today
Aethiopian/Jewish populace have no longer have kingdom and independence except
the teachings of liberal religious policy of toleration. The priestly
theocratic order in Palestine was revived could not stand pressure form the
contending forces of Persia and Rome (as they are still fighting today) until
the passing of Judas Maccabeus (1993:1362).
The time-frame from creation – the Enochian
Calendar
For us to have a clear
understanding of how the Enochian Calendar came about, it will be wise to know
who Enoch was. Enoch was born in the year 622 and was the Seventh in his
lineage from Adam and he stepped on the Earth in the Seventh Century. Enoch was
the son of Jared and the father of Methuselah, the Great-grandfather of Noah.
Prophet Enoch began a 300-year visit with God around 5,300 years ago. It is
said that in the year 687, angels began to make Enoch conscious of Heavenly
Transactions. It is the time, when he was introduced into the knowledge of God
and the Heavenly Beings. Along his Spiritual voyage, he came to a realisation
of the Astronomical Journeys and Timing of the Luminaries (Sun, Earth, Moon,
and Stars) and made various prophecies for the future. Then, Prophet Enoch
transmitted this data into books. Later, these revelations would be decoded
into a series of tongues and languages
for future generations. It is said that for 300 years, Enoch walked among
Spiritual Beings, he also was a messenger to the fallen Angels who had polluted
themselves with mortal beings and to a limited number of people on Earth.
Enoch's intellect was uplifted largely to the intelligence of the Angels.
Furthermore, he became a Messenger for the coming generations.
Prophet Enoch was the
great-grandfather of Noah who was born in 1056. In 1656, which was the 600th
year of Noah’s birthday, the Flood of the Earth took place. As from the year
1657 onward, the year then still had 364 days long, though now the changes that
Enoch had received knowledge about things to come. From that period,
temperature extremes and variations would become the norm. This
era is followed by the coming of Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob (Israel), and Esau upon the Earth and to perform their
respective duties between the years of 1948 to 2587. Later, Moses was also to
be born in the year 2588, and 80 years later, he performed a significant role
through God in liberating the Israelites. Moses also followed the 364 Day Calendar
Year. Moses passed the tradition unto Joshua in the year 2709 after leading the
children of Israel for 40 years. In looking at the Book of Joshua, the
Earth at some point completed its orbit annually around the Sun in a precise
364 days. The Moon’s standard orbit is at 354 days and even to this very day,
it is just hours past 354 days for its yearly orbital average completion.
Enoch was on the Earth
for 365 years and the Lord took him unto another height in the Year 987. The
number 365 signified the future astronomical occurrence would take place and
eventually it did in the life time of Joshua. In the year 2709-10 or around
there, the Earth’s orbit changed from 364 days to 365 days and a few hour
overlap. This was essential so that about 3,300 years later the years would be
divisible by 7 like it was for the times of Adam to Moses and to some extent to
the times of Joshua. According to the Book of Joshua "the sun stood still
and the moon stayed (Joshua 10:13).

From the times of Joshua,
the years accrued extra days that build up into extra years. Therefore,
year 2000 is equal to the Enochian Year 6006 and in deducting the 11 extra
years from 6006; the year 2000 is equals to a period between 5,994 years: 273
Days and 5,994Years: 364 Days (estimated times).

All of the above
conditions allowed the Enochian Calendar to have events fall on the same dates and
days in Ancient Time, and now, the same condition exist in modern times.
Time went through King
David and King Solomon as it did to Moses who guided a 364 day year calendar. After few more hundred years went by and
the Essenes also employ a variation of the 364 day year calendar. In the year
3959 or around 46 BC, Julius Caesar was to have a calendar implemented that was
very similar to the Enochian Calendar. Both have months of 30 and 31 days, both
have ¹7 day weeks. Also, the Enochian Calendar months and days are referred to
more by numbers rather than by names. In about the year 3999, in the Sixth
Month of the Year, the Angel Gabriel alerted Mary that she would conceive a
Holy Child. Jesus was born in Year 4000 or Year -6 or [7BC]. The period that starts
from 3001 to 4000 was the time for the Earth and for it being the fourth in
line (Sun, Mercury, Venus, and the Earth). Around the year 4034, Jesus at the age of 33, was sacrificed by the
Romans and the works of Enoch had been in Ethiopia and Egypt before the
times of Moses and on through the times of King Solomon and Queen Sheba. As it
has been the case for Israelites in Egypt and Ethiopia that played a important
roles in Biblical History. Therefore,
Enochian Calendar is a symmetrical and rhythmic calendar and it is a numerical
reflection of Lord Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit. Just like God is
one, His Original Calendar for Mankind is one and the same for each and every
year.
- The Enochian Calendar’s
Composition
>Quotation taken from the King James Version
revealed how Enoch was given a mandate to record the time measurements plan
below:
Genesis
5:22
And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah
three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch
were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And Enoch walked with God: and he
was not: for God took him.
Hebrews
11:5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see
death; and was not found, because JAH had translated him: for before his
translation he had his testimony that he pleased God.
>[90 Year Intervals over the Last 2,000 Years;
count initiated from Orbital Alteration]
The Hebrew Sacred
Calendar (lunar calendar) originally corresponded to a start time
around in March until it began to come under Babylonian Calendar Influences. According to The Book of Calendars
(Parise 1982), "the Babylonian Exile beginning in the 6th
century BC, had a great influence on the Hebrew Calendar". The Hebrew
Calendar as it stands in Modern Times is not an old one. The Hebrew Months
begin to be called by Babylonian Names instead of being referred to by numbers.
The Book of Calendars states, "the present Jewish Calendar is a
luni-solar one with the years being reckoned by the sun and the months by the
moon."
The day begins at 6pm for
calendric purposes and for religious observances at sunset. The day is equal to
1,080 parts. Also, the present Jewish Calendar has many unusual proscriptions
in relation to the start of the New Year and Holy Day observances.
A major problem or so it
seems with the 364 day calendar is that it falls short of the average solar
year by 1 day and 6 hours or 22.5 Enochian Parts or about 30 hours in today's
time. Regardless of the preceding
factor, in whatever time period examined, a day like Sunday is 364 days away
from Sunday of the previous or future year. It is almost the same setting as
Sunday being 7 days apart from Sunday with Saturday being the 7th
Day, and Sunday starting the count over.
Outside of the solar year
time, a revolution of 364 days is completeness and is a consistent and balanced
rhythmic system of time keeping. The solar year length of
365.2422 days makes it appear improbable that a modern 364 day year calendar
could be utilized, but it is because the solar year is at its current length
that the Enochian Calendar can be re-adapted to past, present, and futuristic
times. One outstanding aspect with this Modern Enochian Calendar is that all of
the years are now divisible by the number 7 from a few years to hundreds of
years, and even thousands of years. In a true sense, the Biblical Calendar past
is now abridged to Modern Times. Therefore, an Angel gave Enoch knowledge of the 364 Day Calendar Year in Ancient
Times and once again the Modern Enochian Calendar is adapted to Modern Times.
It is fairly easy to memorize when one becomes familiar with it.
The Modern Enochian
Calendar achieves five major factors:
The Holy Days are meant
to be observed on the Same Dates and Days every year. It stays in fairly accurate
alignment with the Solar Year and Equinoxes. It is accountable for all the days
and years. It gives one the ability to calculate days, weeks, and years over a
few years to thousands of years. And only one calendar is needed as the days
and dates remain the same every year.
The 371-Day Calendar
Years keep the Modern Calendar from turning out of time, as is the case for the
present calendar system (i.e., leap years, century-leap years). The Enochian
Calendar randomly at times equate with the Vernal Equinox and stay within range of the Vernal Equinox. As
for each particular date, the Enochian Calendar will either equate with a
respective named day (Sun, Mon., etc.) of the week or always stay within
an exact 7-day range of the named day in which it falls. In other words, it
does not fall more than 7 days below a named day of the week nor does it exceed
more than 7 days above a named day of the week. A process of ascension and
declension perpetually occur.
The 364-day calendar year
is made up of 12 months; 8 months of 30 days and 4 months of 31 days; with a
31-day month in each quarter. The 371-day calendar is the same as a 364-day
calendar year except it is exactly one week longer; the Twelfth Month consists
of 38 days. This is nearly similar to the 36 days for the Month Quintilis
(July) of the Old Roman Calendar prior to 46BC. Marck Antony had suggested
changing that Month’s name to July in honour of Julius Caesar.
The Enochian Calendar’s
New Year begins within March of Every Year perpetually. More specifically,
it begins on various dates in March, but always on the First Day or Sunday
every year. For example, the Enochian New
Year Dates ranges gradually from March 14 (Sunday) through March 26 (Sunday)
for a time, then, the New Year ranges from March 19 (Sunday) through March 31
(Sunday) for another time. The Enochian Calendar descends a day a year and then
a year occur whereby there are 7 additional days to the year (which is a
371-day calendar year). This pattern repeats over and over again. Every three months of the Enochian Calendar
begins on the First Day or on a Sunday, the Third Day or a Tuesday, and the
Fifth Day or Thursday. Those simple attributes are what allow the Enochian
Calendar to begin on the First Day or Sunday for each and every year.
The view becomes
three-dimensional.

- The classical universal calendar of conception
According
to the beliefs of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Jah created the world 5500
years before the birth of Christ. Therefore, it is 1994 years since Jesus was
born when this timeline was used and that means it was in the year 7494
of the eighth millennium (or smnTow vh). These are referred to as Amete
Alem (]MT ]Lm) in Amharic or "the years of the
world". The era of the world is trace back from 5493 Ethiopian B.C. (Molla, 2007). We need to be
aware that currently in Ethiopia, the Ethiopic calendar is not the only one.
For example, the writings of Enoch had been in Ethiopia and Egypt before the
times of Moses and endured through the tests of times of King Solomon and Queen
of Sheba. As everyone is aware the case for Israel, Egypt and Ethiopia have had
significant roles in Biblical narrations. According to Enochian year, which is
finishes in 364 days. That is clearly explained in the books of Enoch 82:4-7
and Jubilees 6:23-28. To be more specific, a 365-day-solar-year and
the 365-year-solar-cycle appear as a 365-days-and-years
single term. The narrations from three books of Enoch, a inquisitive
364-day length of calendar year lends new closeness by keeping the last day of
the solar year. Ethiopians followed the Old Testament before the introduction
of Christianity (1 Kings 10:1-9). It is a known fact that that the Arc of the
Covenant was brought to Ethiopia long before
Christianity accepted the Old Testament and offered worship to one Jah. Another
examples, the Oromo people have their own calendar and Bete Israel (bT
asr]l) believe in the Jewish faith.
The
earliest known date to human race is 4236 B.C.E., the founding of the Egyptian calendar
and ancient Egyptian calendar was lunar. The solar Coptic (gbi) calendar, which
is the oldest in history, as it traced back to three millennia before the birth
of Christ. In other words, the accurate date of the origin of the Egyptian calendars is unknown. It is believed that
Imhotep, who was the highest official of King Djoser C.2670 B.C. had a great
influence on the construction of the calendar. Historically, ancient Egyptians
at the start they used a civil calendar that was based on a solar year which
had 365 days only, without making any adjustment for the additional quarter of
a day each year. Each year had 12 months. The heliacal rising of Sirius
coincided with the period when river Nile flood reached the highest point at
Memphis and marking the first day of the year. The new year of the ancient
Egyptians started on the month of Meskerem 1 (MsKRm 1). In
other words, this date highlight the Ethiopian new year that identifies the end
of Noah's flood. The Hebrew new years also begin in Meskerem. The
Egyptian solar calendar consisted of 12 30-day months with five extra festival
days at the end of the year. The chronology of 3,000 years of Ancient Egyptian
history shows that they followed the Sothic Year, which is slightly over 365¼
days (i.e. 365.25636 days).
The
relationship between Egypt and Ethiopia
is estimated to be as early as the Twenty-second Dynasty when
the two countries were under the same rulership. The arts and civilization of
both countries naturally found their way into the each other. Therefore, the
Ethiopian Calendar has more in common with the Coptic Egyptian Calendar. Both
the Ethiopic and Coptic calendars have 13 months, 12 of 30 days each and an
intercalary month at the end of the year of 5 or 6 days depending whether the
year is a leap year or not. The year begins on 11 September in the Gregorian
calendar or on the 12th in (Gregorian) Leap Years. The Coptic Leap Year also
follows the same rules as the Gregorian so that the extra month always has 6
days in a Gregorian Leap Year.
-
The
concoction of Aethiopian time frame and naming (minutes,
hours, days, months and years)
Therefore, for us to have a
better understanding of the unravelling process of the notion of millennium, it
will be wise to start by highlighting the origins of calendar and how western
world distorted the true time keeping to suit their narrow, greedy and sickly system[4].
It will be a crime against humanity if we go without exposing the fallacy of
western civilisation to the world today. Currently, the entire world calendar
systems are based on the work of the ancient law of Sosigenes an Egyptian astronomers who discovered, as early as three to
four thousand years BC studied the solar or sidereal year and established that
it lasted slightly less than 365 ¼ days and
setup the basic tenets for our Modern Solar Calendar (http://www.ethiopianmillennium2000.com/).
The Ethiopian calendar retains the old Egyptian system that divided a year into
twelve months of thirty days each plus one additional month of five days /six days
in leap years. Ethiopian dates therefore, fall 7- 8 years behind western dates
since the reign famous Roman Caesar. The Romans under Julius Caesar established itself on
reformed calendar from the Alexandrian
science and adopted it to the western world. This was done by a Julius
Caesar’s decree that authorised the
overhaul of the Roman Calendar System. Then the Copts inherited this
science as a right, built upon it and handed this calendar, together with their
method of computing the date of Easter, on to their descendant Church in
Ethiopia (http://www.ethiopianmillennium.com).
The doctoring to a solar calendar started around 47
and 46 BC. Caesar's new calendar was based on the solar year being 365 days and
6 hours long. This contributed to what underdevelopment of Africa in general
(Walter, 1973). Furthermore, the months consisted of 29, 30, and 31 days in
length with every fourth year being 366 days. Prior to the solar calendar, the
Roman calendar had months based on the lunar calendar that had varied durations
of 29,31, 23 days or some as long as 36 days. Before the implementation of the
Calendar, Caesar had the following take place. In his decreed, he ordered that
they western had reshuffle the calendar to be 445 days long in order to bring
the seasons back into alignment to the calculations. Therefore, 45 BC became
the First 365 Day Year and the .effected change of the New Year from its
original time, which is the March to the 1st of January. The Month
March was the first month of the New Year prior to the New Calendar
Implementations. As part of keeping their rituals of praising the sun also led
to correlating to December 25th, the sun (mithras) would appear to
set Terrestrially. In other words, a day is made whereby the longest night
occurs and the shortest amount of light to the day takes place. After that day,
the sun is re-born again. In terms of terrestrial notion, the sun has 6 months
of a rising sun and 6 months of a setting sun.
Another very crucial role played by the Western
World Church in setting up the current social conditions of proletarisation
(through land dispossession and slavery arrangement) of vast majority of
populace in particular African race. For example, currently in the occupied
Azania, the denomination such as Roman Catholic Church owns about 50,000 acres of land and on other
hand about 13 million of Africans have no land, no
permanent homes, living on the streets and in shantytowns, squashed in
the slave camps called township, overcrowded
buildings, and tents (Mthembu, 2007). The Western World played
a meaningful role towards scramble for Africa as early as 1700 Before Christian
Era (BCE). Eventually, that campaign was instituted by the Roman Empire towards
social transformation of which cannot be ignored. The
order by the Church Council of Laodicea circa 364 CE that stated that religious
observances were to be conducted on Sunday, not Saturday. Sunday became the new
Sabbath. They ruled: "Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on
Saturday, but shall work on that day." There are many indicators in the
historical record that some Christians ignored the Church's ruling. Sabbath
observance was noted in Wales as late as 1115 CE. Francis Xavier was concerned
about Sabbath worship in Goa, India in 1560 CE; he called for the Inquisition
to set up an office there to stamp out what he called "Jewish
wickedness". A Catholic Provincial Council suppressed the practice in
Norway in 1435 CE (Mthembu, 2007).
Furthermore, when we
speak of the role played by the church in social transformation, we remember
the role played by the Western Church like Roman Catholic Church is when the
Pope divided Portugal and Spain into two halves in 711A.D. A major activity in
this regard is the consolidation of land thieving exercise they call it
scramble of Africans, which culminated, to be what they call it “slave” trade
to Americas. This vicious trade benefited the Roman Catholic Church, as Bishop
Bartholomew de las Casas and Pope Martin IV of the same Church endorsed it by
receiving twenty-five cents per head (they told lies that would save their
soles in case they die crossing triangular trade they will go to heaven) for
each African slave (Ben-Jochannan, 1986). Another event is the battles fought
by Princess of Kahina or Dahia against Islamic thieving like their counter
part- Europe of places that eventually today to be Morocco, Libya, Egypt and
many more places. Again interesting event in 1492 is the death of the
non-Moslem Emperor Sonni Ali of West Africa- Songhay when he returns from
battle in the South and got replaced by a devout Moslem who installed Islamic
priest and preachers to the University of Sankore. Therefore, for over 600
years Africa experienced great devastation that it never had before, the Arab
slave trade and European slave trade (Mthembu, 2007).
So, according to
estimates of Sosigenes, the Julian Calendar was more efficient in the tracking
of the days though; it was about 11 and 1/4 minutes too long (in reality is 11
minutes: 14 seconds). In other words, the extra time over of exact 365 days was
considered to be 5 hours: 48 minutes: 46 seconds. Just look at a time that was
(and still) not considered and accounted between 11 minutes: 14 seconds and 5 hours: 48 minutes: 46 seconds and an exact 6 hours over hundreds of years. This add to some of the
crimes that western world had answer in this Aethiopian Millennium, as a day of
every 128 years remain not accounted for the true setting of nature.
According to the Julian
calendar, every 100 years had duration of 36,525 days or 146,100 Days for every
400 years. It also needed to be at 146,097 Days for every 400 years to maintain
proper alignment with their “own” Seasons of white supremacy. That means, the
Julian calendar in every century year (100th year) has a leap year,
resulting in more days. In adjusting days, Papacy under the command of Gregory
XIII also decreed that Thursday, October 4, 1582 be the date for concoction.
Then, 26th day of the Month Ethanim (Seventh Month), 5588 they equated them to
October 4, 1582 (Thursday).
Therefore, the October 4, 1582 (Thursday) was the last day of the Julian Calendar for the Roman Papacy,
and the next day, Friday,
became October 15, 1582.
Again, 10 Days were regarded
as not part of actual time measurement by removing them. According to the Enochian
Calendar that corresponds to the time that was the 27th day of the Month Ethanim (Seventh Month), 5588.
Today most of the Christian Religious Sects still conduct calendric time that
was set by the Julian Gregorian calendar. In addition, the new changes allowed for the Gregorian
calendar to have duration of 146,097 Days for every 400 years. In summary that meant the
first 300 years out of 400 years has 36,524 days per 100 years and that
the last 100 years had 36,525 days. With this setup, it
takes about 3,300 years for
the Gregorian Calendar to exceed the solar accumulated time by nearly 1 day or
to be in blunder by about 1 day.
The
Vatican Librarian Aloysius Giglio in 1988 made following alterations to the
Gregorian Calendar for long term accuracy as follows:
every
fourth year is a leap year unless it is a century year like 1700 or 1800.
Century years can be leap year only when they are divisible by 400 (e.g. 1600).
This rule eliminates three leap years in four centuries, making the calendar
sufficiently correct for all ordinary purposes".
The characteristics of
the Gregorian Calendar; are that 14 calendars are utilised to maintain time.
Seven (7) Calendars have 365-day years and the other 7 Calendars have 366 days.
Due to this reason, the years are not evenly divisible by weeks, by quarters,
or by equal halves. Again, we need to note that the New Year commences in winter or on January
1st of each year, that is around 10 days after the Winter Solstice.
The dates of each calendar year always begin on different days. At least, only
two or three months a year that share the same arrangement. That is, months
that share the same arrangement in the number assigned to a particular day.
Months composed of 28, 29 days for February and 30 and 31 days for the rest of
the months of the year. In addition, ascribed holidays to fall on different
days every year, but normally fall on the same dates each year. The same
scenario applies to events, birthdays, and other dates of occurrences. The length of the Gregorian Calendar is
365.2425 days.
The following table shows

There above data helps one to
understand how the colonial processes that led to the discrepancy of time
keeping of Aethiopian people in general and continuously keeping of the western
ideals in Africa.
- Aethiopian Millennium after seven (7) years of western millenium
Today, Aethiopian globally are rejoicing
in the inheritance of their forefathers who dearly had faith in JAH in almost
in everything that they were doing. The above scenario put it clear how did
this happens. Currently, the Ethiopian calendar, similar to that of the Coptic,
has 12 months of 30 days each and a 13th month of 5 days or 6 days every fourth
year and is seven years back from the Gregorian calendar. Ethiopian year is
devoted to one of the four
Ancient Priest based to the
rotation: Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. The year of St. Luke is Leap
Year, and therefore always has six days in the thirteenth month of the
Ethiopian calendar. Ethiopia's distinctive and historically ancient cultures
helps the new generation with the past experiences and serve as the incentive
to define the future much clearer.
- The ancient formula for counting time
Traditionally, the
Enochian Year start in the Spring and duration of the solar year is a time-span
of 364 days. Accordingly, 4 days of the year are dedicated to the 4 corners of
the world. In short that means there is 3 month increase or 90 days, the 91st
day of the each quarter act as a changeover period between time periods similar
to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
In other words, there are
8 months of 30 days and 4 months of 31 days. The Months of the Year start
on the 1st day of the Week (Sunday), the 3rd day of the
Week (Tuesday), and the 5th Day of the Week (Thursday) right through
a year's time and that result to a forth for every year. In every 3 months, the calendar follow the same
model. An actual 52 weeks happen in each and every year. For example, 13
weeks equal to one quarter of the year, 26 weeks equal to oneself year, and 39
weeks equal to three quarters of a year. The days are divided into 18 parts or
80 minute parts and start at sunset in line with the Holy Observances and the
well-known times for general calendric functions.
Therefore, the Enochian
Day consists of up to 18 parts. Note that at the Equinoxes, the day is an exact
9 parts for the Day and 9 parts for the Night. In the Summer and Winter
solstice, daylight parts are longer in the Summer Months and night parts are
longer in the Winter Months. For Holy Days and Holy Feast Observances a
new day begins at Sunset. In normal calendric purposes, a new day begins at
6:34pm. From 6:34pm to 6:33am, this time is estimated to 9 Enochian Parts and
from 6:34pm to 6:33pm approximates 18 parts. The times are set forth in the
following table.

Our
future before us and a call for the final march for the total emancipation of
the Aethiopians
The significance of this event
to the African/Israelites[5] and human race in general is that they got a
chance from JAH to repent, leave false papal doctrines and live and be saved by
the Wonderstrong Councillor, The Elect of Himself and Prince of Peace – Emperor
Haile Selassie the First this time. In other words, this banquet to all
Aethiopian means do livity (be part of the re-birth as it was prophesised) or
die (refuse to adhere to the prophecy and cling to the papal doctrine) in
archives of history without trace, The Aethiopian are truly the one JAH likes
to be with and hear their cries. This time the children of true Israel –
Aethiopians are going through a process of re-birth as race that has been
dismembered. The redeemer whom was prophesised to emerge a give back life,
dignity, right and truth to the race that has been dispossessed, enslaved to
foreign lands and given false doctrines that are based on the interests of
mankind – democracy. The Redeemer that is spoken about this moment is the only
His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie the First and Forever who is seen
as whom was prophesised as the returned Messiah. It was revealed Enoch who is the seventh from Adam, prophesied that, “Behold, the Lord cometh with ten
thousands of his saints - Jude 1:14”.
Again in Enoch CHAP II: 1 it was revealed
that “Behold, he comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute
judgment upon them, to destroy the wicked, and reprove all the carnal for
everything which the sinful and ungodly have done, and committed
against him. Emperor Selassie I is the
perfect example that hueman race has to look upon H.I.M. for guidance and the
fulfillment of the prophecy.
It was prophesized that Emperor Selassie I came to restore dignity, to
rebuilt ‘zion walls”, racial and economic equality and peace and love in the
universe (Johnson-Hill, 1995).
Furthermore, biblical text – Rev. 5:2-5; 19:16; and Tim. 4:13-14 refers
to King of Kings, Lord of Lords and the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Edmonds, 2003:36) effected the liberation
of Ethiopian- today we speak of African Millennium. The Conquering Lion of the
tribe of Judah ushered the irreversible march for total emancipation of the
Black race by defeating the Roman/Italian papal forces under the command of
baldheaded Mussolini. So, Ethiopianism as it was taught through deeds of His
Imperial Majesty Emperor Selassie I declared by exemplary of how to effect the
true liberation and the future of the Ethiopian Empire (Johnson, 1995: 34).
Arise ye Sons and daughters and seize the moment for theocratic change. That is
why we ceaselessly beat the drum in accordance to our ancient African tradition
of beating in line with the ancient Nyahbinghi
Ode[6]r
till oppressive forces in all form fall down (Jack, 1995: 30).
Concluding remarks
Therefore, for us to be in a
better position to fulfil the Order uncompromisingly without satisfying of
human’s will – democracy, one need to be reborn again in mentally, spiritually
and physically. You can only do that by considering
what Welsing (1991) suggests the linear thought that advocates the progress
from problem perception that advance towards problem solution, changing
step-by-step anything that wants to be altered to achieve a total problem
solution and that for calls whatever in our disposal. The collective
individuals faced the same false teachings need to respond to the call
for assurance of the total liberation of Ethiopia: Psalm 68:31- “Princess shall
come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God” (Edmons,
2003:59). In other words, Aethiopian in general adopt the true time
measurements as per the Prophet Enoch or continue with the current time
measurements systems that perpetuate the yoke of false doctrines to the
universe. Failure, to respond to the call of the Million years meant that one
opt to perish with oppressive machineries as prophesised that it will vanish in
due course of time. So wake up and live forever!!!
