The Book of Jubilees and the Zadok Priestly Solar Calendar (Dead Sea Scrolls - Qumran Community) 

Hey, brother! I hope you watch and consider Sean's points in his rebuttal videos.

​​Adam and Victoria, I am so sorry that you receive hate mail for your opinions on some of these topics. That is so wrong. We can disagree and still be respectful and loving to one another. We all must keep seeking truth with humility.

Only 18 mins in but you've been knocking it out the park. Love you bro. You're my favorite preacher ever haha. Praise Yahuah and Yahushua. Thanks for your work man, been a huge blessing to me

The 1260 day prophecy in both Daniel and Revelation is 42 months, 3.5 years exactly. There is no 13th month here to accommodate for a lunar calendar coming in 10 days to soon each year. There would need to be a 13th month added every 3 years, and there is none here. Enoch clearly says there are 12 months of 30 days with 4 intercalary days. My version of Enoch from RSTNE 8TH edition says the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day to eternity, but complete the years with perfect judgment and 364 days. And many verses you shared from Enoch are not even in the RSTNE which is based on the Septuagint, DDS, Peshitta, and multiple other sources. Not one verse written that says to use the moon to determine months

As far as I know there is no law to not march around a city and blow shofars on Sabbath. If “the seventh day” was a Sabbath, it would have said Sabbath. No, it means the seventh day of marching. Probably not a Sabbath or it would have said so. This is a whole topic by itself and not clear cut to use against Jubilees.

Its been a while since I tuned in, and I just want to say I'm really glad that I did for this one! This is a great study and I am very grateful. Shalom~

Compare the Zadok calendar with the verses of Exodus 16:1-25 you will find something amazing. Remember every day of the year of the Zadok calendar falls out on the same day year after year, never wavering. There are more Scriptures like this. Also in Acts 2 when they are accused of being drunk on "New Wine" points to the Festival of New Wine, in the same way that the children of Israel could not consume the Barley or Wheat until to wave offerings, they did not consume the newly made wine until the offering of New Wine by the Priests. Amazing stuff! And to those celebrating Yom Teruah today on the Zadok calendar, Shabbat Shalom!

Excellent talk and yes I agree with you. It's true we need to spend more time with spreading salvation than arguing over little stuff. Ruach ha Qodesh be with you.

Shalom brother Adam, you have been provided with abundant proof of the fact that Yahusha kept the calendar of the exiled Zadokite priesthood. His oppressors did not. This is a far more serious matter than you seem to realize as a new believer. You should reconsider placing your opinion in a place of authority over the authority which Yahuah placed with the Zadokite priesthood. I love you and am praying our Father will provide you with proper perspective. Wisdom would prescribe that you back away from opposing Yahuah in leading His own back to the ancient administration of His moedim, as Yahusha modeled for us. Shalom beloved brother.

Thank you brother Adam for this teaching! It has blessed my soul & clarified my suspicions & beliefs that it is "both" of the 2 witnesses in heaven that bare the truth of Gods Holy Calendar ! 2 Corinthians 13:1 by 2 or 3 witnesses a truth shall be established. 😊

Thank you Adam for explaining it so well and for bringing it back to scripture and the Torah..I had been very confused with a few different calendars on my phone..it simplified it a lot..may you always be blessed and inspired by the Holy Spirit 🙏

WE ARE ALL WRONG! I am praying that the Father sends a simultaneous download of HIS calendar to us all so that we can celebrate His appointed times together! I do not want to be right, I just want to be with the Father and Messiah, on the days the Father has set, and not make a Baruch day an abomination! There should not be any arguing with each other or slighting someone for how they view the calendar. We should be studying these things out together, seeking HIM- not our own ways!

Adam, how can the Sabbath be a mark for Yah's people if it is for everyone? When you are in covenant, you are no longer a gentile but graphed into Israel! I learned that from you years ago. I dont understand how you have drastically changed your understanding. When Yah talks to His people telling them to treat the stranger like their own, He is tellong them because they obviously didnt want to.... He told them to treat the stranger (the one who came into your home from the other nations) as if theh were one of your own... meaning no differences... the law for them too as well because they are no longer a stranger or gentile but are Israel. You are no longer a gentile if you are in covenant.

Technically, the Bible never says there are 5 books in Torah. That’s Rabbi traditions. Yashua refers to The Writings of Moses. No number given. If Moses wrote Jubilees it is the 6th Torah book. That’s what I’m trying to decide. Did Moses write it? The 5 book Torah was picked by man (Pharisees) and the 66 book Bible was picked by man (corrupted church). It’s not as simple as you make it sound.

so far I am seeing your point I do appreciate you doing this study. I will carefully watch pray and study thank you

Okay, I just did a 2 hr study on this very same issue in that there were 120 Scholars involved in understanding and revealing the findings of the DSS , or QumRum Scrolls. There are 24 Old Testament books which 23 were found . However the Book of Esther was not found. The reason for this is the Greek Kings, namely A. Tiago Epiphanese. This Greek King wanted to change the solar calendar of which was the ancient Solar Calendar, known as the Zadok Calendar or Priestly Calendar, hence Enoch went to Heaven to learn from the Angels and then came back and taught it to his brothers

Adam, I truly pray that you search about this because there really was 120 scholars involved in this discovery! Rachel Elior is so very blessed . I enjoy all of your Videos and have learned a ton , Thank you very much for all of your work for us, I have learned so much from you since you had only 200 people watching! Now you have 1000s😂❤

Adam.. I have followed the Enoch calendar, as you laid it out here, for several years now and am grateful for the heartfelt effort you put into this study. My trust in you comes from the fact that you back up your studies with scripture, and deep research, and very little opinion. I, too, am tired of the in-fighting about this topic, and the self-righteousness I see regarding it, even in this comment thread. You so clearly addressed the Qumran community and the red flags found throughout their writings. Thank you. And, thank you for the humble heart you have regarding this issue, because the true bottom line is as you have spoken - if we get the calendar right, but have not love for one another we have NOTHING. May Yahuah bless you and Victoria abundantly for your faithfulness and diligence as He uses you to help guide us to His truth. In Yahusha's mighty name I pray. Amein and selah.

We respect and follow the Zadok calendar for 12 years We believe to be the correct calendar, but we do not condemn or judge those who do not Shalom

Thank You very much for this video! I have been praying about this subject for months now and after watching this I now feel at peace. I still need more understanding on the subject but halleluYah for you Adam and the great videos. Keep it up

I’ve only been observing Torah for 2 years and there’s so much to learn!!! And so many differences!!! It’s so disheartening that brothers and sisters in this movement can’t come together in love. Far too many divisions, just like CHRISTIANITY and CHURCHIANITY. SAD.

Adam, I watched this yesterday evening and I really want to say this shows your humbleness and your fear for God instead of your fear for men. I have followed you from 2017, we had the same experience at that time. The Father woke us up and the journey began! I have not always agreed with you, especially when you and Christian Trusthers collaborated. There was always something of about that guy... But you are not too proud to admit that you had something wrong and now this is your understanding at the moment. I can certainly work with that! This shows some good fruit. I have done my own studies and yes the Canon without any misunderstanding, says we should calculate the moadim with the sun, the moon and the stars. It's not a matter of splitting hairs, it's a matter of the truth vs the lie. We are not going to cut out a brother because of this, but we will certainly not put the truth under a bucket. Thank you for standing up for the truth, no matter the cost!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this. It really helped clear up some confusion in my mind, confirmed some checks in my spirit and provided great tools to use in helping others to see. Bless you.

This is a fantastic truth vid Thankyou Brother May Abba bless you

Ok! Nice, this was what i was waiting for. The Zadok Calendar is the priestly calendar and it fits from what i've researched. Its what i am keeping, or trying to, with my family. Ill listen to this while working, looking forward to this! Just a little note, we shouldnt fight over Yahs Calendar. If we want truth, we will have to accept correction. We are all trying to figure this out and doing our best to find His ways. To follow Yah. If teachers are using a lot of agression, or people start to fight over it.. let it go. Take it to Yah and remain in His rest. He will show us the right path, if we are willing to humble ourselves and let Him show us.

I’ll definitely recap all this tomorrow when I can focus, since I came on late, and it’s late. Thanks Adam for your diligence in study and sharing. 🙏🏻

My brain hurts trying to figure it out ..we just celebrated feast of Trumpets yesterday for first time . Got a shofar and kids had so much fun learning to blow it . I found alot of people hated we celebrated it and also lost friends over that and the dates seemed ro trigger people . Father knows my heart and I'm going to continue to study ...but I know this I'm never to do pagen holidays again which I will obey no mater how much hate I get from others . I see why calendar is messed with cause it seems he will return on these exact fall festivals . Brain hurts and maybe it's not the time for it to be clear ...maybe part of the scroll that will be revealed? We tested lunar and did not happen every 7 days for Sabbath so that was a no . Back to ground zero

Thank you Adam so much for this in-depth study. I too once revered Jubilees as scripture and I do not believe Yahuah holds that against us as we were on a journey to find the truth. The more you seek truth out much more knowledge is given. You Adam are a wonderful Berean and are very much appreciated in your endeavor to feed the sheep. Anyone who speaks harsh and evil words against you will be judged by Yah for the scripture says every tongue that rises up against you shall be condemned. Pay no attention to unfruitful words for that is not of the Ruach HaKodesh. We are all still learning and what I believe is of the most importance that Yahushua said they will know you by your fruits and that is our love for one another. You have never intentionally tried to mislead the sheep and when you have gotten more revelation knowledge you had the integrity to reveal your misunderstanding or misinterpretation which in no way was blasphemous but rather your understanding at that time. We are forever learning as we endeavor to seek Yahuah more deeply. We all respect your integrity and genuine love for Yahuah and the brethren. Yahuah Baruch you immensely as you are a blessing to all of us. I for one have no mishpocha at this time and I look forward to all the video teaching that help edify my soul. Praise be to Yahua Most High! Shalom brother and sisters.

Very good video .thank you for great clarity and reassurance... this subject has been sitting on my heart for better understanding.. and its Yahs great time that now i have good answers to this very importanttiming of his set apart times!.. HalleluYah!

Once again, I have came to the exact same conclusion on my own. Also, it’s been my experience the people w/this zadok calendar aggressively push it which is another red flag for me

Calendar debates aren’t edifying in comments but loving one another is a command keep the calendar you keep and love one another. Calling others demons is dangerous based on different calendars.

I have been studying into the Zadok calendar. Thank you for clarification and more Scriptural evidence. I agree 100% that we must have love for each other and not fight over these issues. I pray blessings for you and this ministry.❤❤

I think you are missing the fact that kingdom work can be done on the Sabbath. These things in jubilees are things outside of Yah's direction...evem the torah references about Yah saying the man shall surely die that obtained sticks on the sabbath. Context is key; there are Spirtual principles being overlooked here.

I read Dr. Ken Johnson's book on his findings / study of the scrolls on the Zadok Calander, it was so convincing, I honestly didn't look much further. Michael Ohman of River Branch (YT) discussed the Zadok Calander, and disproved it with psalms and other scriptures not listed here; your information is kinda a second witness - as I don't actively pursue the Calander stuff - so I really appreciate a well-articulated and informed rebuke. I will be praying on this, and perhaps a fire has been lit for me to delve into this subject on my own. Thanks again, Shalom.

He makes a good point on the idea of Jubilees' talking of war and fasting on Shabbat...

Thank you for this indept breakdown of Jubilees Ach! Far more wrong with it than i thought.

Hey Adam 👋 I respect your interpretation of these verses and the study and time you have put into it, but others have done the same and have come to different conclusions of course. I was wondering if you would consider doing a live iron sharpens iron brotherly discussion with Sean Griffin on this very topic of the book of Jubilees?? (Not necessarily the calendar issue just the book) I believe many would appreciate it. Much love and Shalom to you, Victoria, and your sweet family. Hope you all are well🧡

Me & my 11yr old daughter Miracle, pitched a tent in her room & celebrated that way last yr😇

In regards to the journeying on the sabbath… we see a distinction in Acts that there is a “sabbath day’s journey” which was the acceptable distance one could travel on the sabbath day without breaking the law… Acts 1:12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. A Sabbath day's journey is a distance of 2,000 cubits, or about 0.75 miles, that a Jew was permitted to travel on the Sabbath. This distance was based on a statement in Joshua 3:4, which says that there should be that much distance between the ark and the people on their march Joshua 3:4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

I hadn't finished reading Jubilees', and no...I will not be putting a wreath on my head.

Always remember folks, if your calendar doesn't incorporate the sun, moon, and stars, and the priestly cycles and the commanders of the army. Then your following the wrong calendar and have become your own authority. Praise Yah for the Dead Sea Scrolls that were found in the Qumran! We have now located where the true line of Aaron went and who our authority in all matters are! The Zadok priesthood in Qumran kept track of ALL of these aspects of the calendar. Does your calendar have these? 1 Chronicles 24 1 Chronicles 27 1 Kings 4:7 P.s. I'm still looking in the scriptures for the elusive 13th month and what exactly constitutes a "new moon" 👀.

I don’t look to Jubilee for Zadok Calender. Look Enoch says the moon falls behind.

I fell for the try to do everything perfect circle of never endings... its impossible to do because there are many teachings, many interpretations which makes it difficult. Then I read something that has stuck with me... All this confusion will continue until our high priest is here to teach us the correct path. It is not word for word and I don't remember which book I read it from (it could be 2 Ezra, Baruch or Enoch) but you get the point. Just because I do things by my understanding does not mean its correct and another's is wrong or vice versa... that is how I understand things just like your doing. This division of understanding His word is meant to happen until Yahusha gets here. Until then, we all should not allow our own understandings cause our division! New believers fall in this view hard, they believe they have the correct path and everyone else is wrong. After time of learning, you change that view. You realize being correct is not the way to behave, all it does is divide more. We need to unite not keep dividing. If we can not talk about our views of the subject then maybe it should not be brought up? We all have our list of importance, each one of these list is different but two should always be at the top of everyone's list... Love our Father with all our hearts and the 2nd one is to love others with all our hearts. Everything below these two is not as important and when you start behaving like a know it all go back and re-read the top two. The calendar is not going to be corrected until Yahusha gets here. Who knows maybe some are doing it correctly but are they going to have the attitude of I told you so?! I hope not because that wasn't the point. I dont see anything wrong with celebrating the feast on many days because we are to practice during the mean time. In order to do Passover correctly we are to be in the land of Israel and have our high priest but everyone of us is doing it wrong just by those two reasons. It really does not matter who is right and who is wrong... If you have the I know it all attitude then your missing the whole point of loving Father and your neighbors... you may want to do some soul searching on what it means to love!

The calendar being used in the temple by the Pharisees and the Sadducees was based on the Greek Seleucid calendar (probably adopted around 167 BC), which was a lunar calendar. This along with months and days being named after pagan gods, it is no wonder that there were no calendars consistent with the ancient or modern Pharisee tradition within the Dead Sea scrolls community. This makes perfect sense, if, when the Zadok priests were forced from the temple, those calendars were not present within all the other temple scrolls. The calendar observed by Israel during the time of Ezra and before, was in fact the Zadok calendar. The rise of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, along with their willingness to adopt foreign culture and practices, would bring a new calendar causing the sons of Jacob to stray from their appointed days.

My house started. Going by Zadok Calendar. What I believe and love about this calendar the Sat 7th day shares a high sabbath. Sabbath is holy day of its own. And feast day high sabbath is a separate day of its own. But again whom ever follow another calendar like new moon like I used to it’s the heart Yah seeks. Most importantly we are to know the season and as Torah followers we at least have that in common. And more importantly is LOVE another.

Passover is not the Sabbath. The seventh day is the Sabbath. Sabbath rules do not apply here. Passover rules apply on Passover.

YESHUA our master fasted 40 days and nights, on the Shabbat, hello We are all Jew if born again, no gentile, we are all Israel

Shalom Adam, I have a few issues with your examination. 1. For the first 49 minutes, you proved that Jubilues is not inspired. 2. No Zadok calendar presented in its theology on entirety. What it is, the essence of it. Some new Torah believers on the comments had no clue what you are even talking about 3. Zadok priesthood was instituted BEFORE Babylonian captivity and even before the construction of the first Temple. To intersect and compare Babylonian calendar with Zadok is a fallacy due to historical facts. 4. I believe that you actually didn't prove anything... this is not an in-depth examination of Zadok. This is conjecture and a fallacy again....Jubilee is not inspired. Therefore, Zadok calendar is wrong. It is like saying to someone that you would like to visit in Miami... I did not arrive at your house because Google Maps took me to Orlando. Therefore, your house is in Orlando The first reference to a numbered month and numbered days is in the story of Noah. Moses recounts to us the timing of the great flood as follows: In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. Genesis 7:11 In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. Genesis 8:4 Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up. In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. Genesis 8:13-14 When Moses shares the story, the timing of the flood is very exact, using specific months and days accordingly. But we must ask ourselves: What calendar is Moses referring to and using in the commandments for God’s appointed times? 5. It is my impression and conclusion that your analysis is not presented correctly, in the right format. It is possible that when you lead a congregation to be biased without even knowing because if Zadok were true, you would have to change the way you do things. I believe that you need more time studying this objectively!!!

For my personal opinion, the simple fact of the uncleanness of the sex act causes me to abstain on Shabbat to keep it holy & clean for my observance to Abba's sign between us - similar to the 3 days prior to Shavuot

I hardly ever comment on videos but I have to say thank you for this teaching Adam! I was aware that Jubilees contradicted Scripture but didn't realize how much... And the Qumran community rules 😳😬 thank you for bringing that to our attention. And I also appreciate your humbleness in admitting that you were wrong. I do still have questions about some stuff though and will continue to do my own research to better understand His calendar. Thank you again, Adam. Shabbat shalom

So, I am going to pray about it all. My fellowship is mostly Zadok, but not 100%. It is a fruitful discussion. There is a lot more detail involved. The moon is how we decide the beginning of the year. Also, every three months is an intercalary day and begins the next season. The beginning of the year has the moon and sun aligning a certain way, so it is day 1. It always begins on the fourth day, which is the day the luminaries were placed in the firmament.

“In the days of the sinners the years will grow shorter...the moon will change its order and will not appear at its (normal) time. Many heads of the stars will stray from the command.” - 1 Enoch 80:2-8

Fantastic teaching! Clears up so many of my questions!

Yes, I believe all of the celestial creations should be used to calculate the calendar as His Word instructs. In my opinion, to omit the moon is equaliviant to omiting the hour hand on a clock.

If you throw out the 364 day solar calendar due to a few false statements in Jubilees, then by that logic you would have to do the same to another Jubileean doctrine, the sanctity of the Sabbath.

Beloved Adam thanks for every good work bearing fruit for our Yahusha, thank you Ruach’A Qodesh for guiding And teaching Us to walk in your ways, bearing fruit with blessings from YHWH. One Law abide in his Commandments, one Adonai, Father ABBA, Yahusha Hamachiach And the Ruach’A Qodesh♥️🔥Shalom Beloved Sisters and Brothers⚡️🔥♥️📣Shalom Hava’nu Alecheim♥️🇮🇱Happy Roshashana♥️🥰💞

Praise Yah! This was sent to me as I was praying for clarity on this issue from someone who didn’t know I was praying on it. I kept hitting a wall and thinking people were disregarding scripture to place Jubilles and one version of Enoch above the Word. Thank you brother! Also, another part I noticed that you didn’t highlight was the Jubilee command not to carry a burden on Sabbath when Yahusha told a man to pick up his bed and go after healing him. Another good witness to be aware of.

My first comment in watching this. Yahuah is no respecter of persons and He sent His Son into the world for ALL those who would believe on Him to have eternal life. We too were once Gentiles before coming into the knowledge of the truth. How could we possibly know who will also come into the fold if a seed is not sown by one of us. We should never underestimate the power of the Ruach HaKodesh for that is the unpardonable sin. We plant the seed and He brings for the harvest. HalleluYah!

Well done Adam very good points now apply the same scrutiny to Jasher & i believe we will agree both are sus No double standards brother Love ya brother Shabbat Shalom

This is fantastic, thank you for helping is navigate the scriptures!

Who says the 66 book canon is our measuring stick? They are all scrolls! The 66 is just what we know but going into history and geography in other places in the world the so called approved Bible looks different. The 66 scrolls were what scolars or people of power/position decided to include, not Yah. People/men create Bibles. We need to go outside what we have been told. Torah also is not just 5 books... that comes from judaism the Torah is His law and is found throughout the many of the scrolls.

The book of Ezekiel only supports a 13th month in the Masoretic text. The LXX shows a 12 month calendar.

Adam, I respect you and I am still deciding on what to think of Jubilees. But you are making straw man arguments, big assumptions, and using questionable books to tear down a questionable book. Dangerous path my friend.

Sun, Moon and stars.

Thanks, Adam! We are so prone to seeking out the "new and different" instead of the True. If a writing contradicts scripture, or adds or takes away from Torah, it is NOT TRUE and, therefor, not from Yah. Praise Yah, bless you! Shalom.

i will always keep the zadok calendar. straight forward. always on same days of the week. and only looked at for 7 months of the year.

Shalum APTTMH this was helpful and appreciated

I follow Zadok calendar, and the moon is definitely used in feast days, and calculating the first day of the year. We celebrated Yom Teruah, beginning last night...on the Full Moon. There was even a partial eclipse. We are in Oregon. I absolutely believe the moon is relevant.

Great video, thank you!

Except the Sadducees are NOT the Zadok priests who fled to Qumran.

Hmm I wouldn't call myself a book of Jubilees expert or anything, and I havn't really sat down to study it, so I don't have any bias on the book give or take. Idk about the extra stuff that seems added in terms of the Shabbat. That part is a little sketchy. For the points that you mention about Jubilees separating gentiles, what has made the most sense to me for all the ancient books, is when "Gentiles" is mentioned in context like these (separations), is to assume that these are not just all genetic "gentiles" , but gentiles that have not cleaved to YHWH. Whenever Israel is mentioned except in certain prophecies, I generally conclude "Israel and the strangers among you", aka the gentiles that have cleaved to YHWH. So the "strangers" in that case would not be the same as the general gentile (that being the gentiles that have not cleaved to YHWH). The pattern I see with YHWH it there are the people that have chosen to follow him (He makes special mention of those - Israel, those that are called by my name, the stranger among you, etc.), and then there is everyone else (the nations, gentiles). In that case it would make perfect sense why Abraham would tell Jacob not to eat with them, and it would make perfect sense why they would be assigned a principality (kind of like "I will give them over to a strong delusion". They have rejected YHWH so he gives them over to the gods they desire). Peter was sent to Cornelius (a gentile) and ate with him, but Cornelius was not a gentile in spirit, Cornelius is spiritually part of the house of Israel even before Peter went to him so he falls into the "stranger among you" category. "Now there was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort.2 *He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was all his household; he did many acts of charity for the people and prayed to God regularly.* Acts 10:1-3. Even Peter's vision backs this up with the "unclean animals" being the gentiles, YHWH says not to call the gentiles unclean because he has made them clean. Why? Because they have sought to cleave to YHWH through their faith in Yeshua. Not because just every and all gentiles are now "clean" and so Peter should make it a habit to go and interact with all gentiles. The only time I see Israel intentionally seek to interact with gentiles is if 1) they are on assignment to share the gospel/ teach YHWH's word, 2) Those gentiles are already spiritually part of Israel, 3) If its not the first two then most likely YHWH has sent Israel to overthrow them. So far for me, anyone being considered "unclean" to deal with was because they were not attached to YHWH. YHWH's main purpose is to separate from those not in him, so to not follow their ways. I personally don't think its talking about all genetic gentiles in general. The only times I can recall distinctions made in the "gentile" category is if said gentiles were now Israel in spirit. If they had not become Israel in the spirit, then it seems the non-distinctive more general application of gentile was used like it is in Jubilees. When it says in scripture that the men of Israel are forbidden to marry people of other nations. The context is still other nations that don't follow YHWH. If they did however still want to marry that person, that person had to shed their gentile lifestyle (cut their hair, get circumcised etc.) The issue with these however was it wasn't from the heart of the other person to want to follow YHWH. It was just so they could get married. So they were still spiritually gentile hence all the problems (*cough* king Solomon *cough* Samson). So yeah no, don't make it a habit to intimately commune (I think this is a clearer view of what Abraham may have been saying) with those that have not turned their hearts to YHWH, because like king Solomon (the man of wisdom and understanding) and others, its easy to get lead astray.For that case I can understand at least some of those things in Jubilees. Idk about anything else though lol. granted I'm only 23 minutes in. *Not part of the Jubilees bit* Not being inflammatory or anything, just a mention for caution. Up till recently your studies have been very consistant in the letter of the word as well as the spiritual implications of the word. More recently I've been noticing a little less exploration of the biblically spiritual inwards of certain matters. Kind of like how as mentioned above, with the word gentile. Yes gentile has its literal meaning of not being genetically Israel, but the spiritual inward of that matter (at least I believe), is that gentile in its general use are those who's hearts are separated from YHWH. I can't say I know the work you've put in behind the scenes, but I've noticed new influences on some of your content and a corresponding shift in a few of your root beliefs. Not that I believe Jubilees to be a root belief of yours, I just so happen to be mentioning it on this video. Just a friendly reminder to stay rooted in YHWH voice in you, and to be cautious of other voices. One story in scripture that I think is often overlooked is the story of the un-nammed prophet in 1 Kings 13. I think it gets lost in all the war lore going on at the same time. The moral of that story is that YHWH told the prophet something, and the prophet let another prophet tell him something else, and he ends up destroyed because of it. That is the ultimate trap that both sides of this thing has fallen into. Its the trap from the beginning. YHWH says something and whether Christian/Jew/ or any other group of people that follows YHWH not in his prescribed order, there is always a prophet/influence that convinces the people of something contrary to what YHWH says. At face value the Deut. 13 test is hard in that story, and the fall in the beginning because neither case was prompting anyone to follow another god. We often forget that we ourselves and our own understandings can be a form of a god. Havah followed her own understanding "the fruit seems good for food", and the unknown prophet followed his own understanding trusting the man that spoke to him because he was a fellow prophet. In both stories I don't see Havah nor the un-named prophet stop and seriously reconnect with YHWH in prayer on the issue before changing their path. I'm not saying that that is whats happening to you. I am only advising to be more connected with YHWH than ever especially when changing your mind on scriptural things. I feel like I don't have to tell you that, you are wise enough so I feel like a paint by numbers person advising Mr. Picasso lol. Remember king David (a man after YHWH heart)! His pattern seemed to be to ask YHWH before he did pretty much anything... well except for that one thing. He didn't ask YHWH about that at lol he full throttle did what he wanted to do.

I just saw this last week when I searched for the word jubilees and read Jubilees 2:9. Before then I hadn't thought about the sun being the time piece for the Sabbaths. And now today you have a video on it.

❤ Yes. When i first read the book of Jubilees I was fascinated by the context, stories and extra details. Its intriguing but on comparison to the scriptures I also found a multitude of contradictions. Interesting to consider, at the end of the day I trust the WORD OF GOD.❤

Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath, and yet are innocent? Matthew 12:5 An example of Yah having a "double standard"? Or An explanation of a concept we cannot yet grasp? We must be careful when casting doubt on texts deemed scripture. Perceived contradictions usually denote a misunderstanding on the readers part. There is much variance in audience, language, and interpretation in these ancient texts. Perhaps there is missing context that will be revealed at a later date. It is wise to hold such books with an open hand, not discarding, but continuously seeking the proper understanding.

Just like other books, canonical and noncanonicals, I wouldn’t throw entire texts out due to some apparent errors, that often occur over the course of time, take the Masoretic v Septuagint issue for example, we KNOW these kinds of errors occur in various texts, not just Jubilees. Logically and reasonably, there is much truth in Jubilees that aligns with truths in other texts, confirming multiple witnesses in the wider puzzle of truth. As with all things, use discernment with foundational truth as a base.

While I hold Jubilees as inspired….the Zadok calendar has been something I’ve been hearing about much in recent months and just have not been able to feel peace with it. Something STILL seems off with the idea of it, I cannot put my finger on it exactly. Every time I think of shifting over to it….i just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Like you said…this has been a means of spiritual “queuing” for me in the past. I’m interested in hearing what you have to say about it. Follow-up: very very excellent points Adam. Certainly. It seems like what you’ve said is confirmation as to why I have felt strong reluctance when considering switching to the zadok calendar. And after listening to your evidence…I will definitely lean much less upon Jubilees as a reliable source text.

I am quoting from one of the other commenters because he is spot on. "Adam, I respect you... But you are making straw man arguments, big assumptions, and using questionable books to tear down a questionable book. Dangerous path my friend." There is much to be said about your conclusions, but many have already stated the problems with your assessment in the comments. I've watched you from the beginning and have always respected your methodical approach using scripture, but you really failed in this one. The scriptures that you use are out of context or just not relevant to the argument that your trying to make. I know that you know better than the approach and arguments that you took with this "study". Set your biases and your presumed theology aside. This is the real issue and problem here. We want to discredit or throw out anything that does not align with our preconceived beliefs. For example, if you believe a day starts at night or the moon sets the time then anything that contradicts that is automatically fallacy. We can all be guilty of this. Unfortunately this blocks truth from being revealed.

There is something you are not considering, and that is that when you observe the 364 day calendar that Enoch observed. During the feast days the same moon appears every year. For example, the feast of Trumpets allways has a Full moon... How is that not a sign ?

You rightly highlight errors, and distorted passages. Even so, I still like Jubilees. It adds value.

Finally.. clarity!! Now if everyone will watch and hear you out!

There’s a reason why I stop listening to parable the Vineyard years ago. He just confirmed it. thought maybe he was gonna start speaking truth, but guess that’s not the case.

It was the holy Spirit that led me to you parable of the vineyard, and I will follow that family 💕🫂

It's pretty wild that people who claim to follow the Torah, will use literally everything else Besides the Torah, to prove their point about how they follow Torah... It's sad how many people come to Torah, then run to every other wind of doctrine and extra biblical text and go to fill blown rabbinic Judaism instead of just following YAHs word and what it says! Like you said Adam, YAHs law is black and white. He makes it so simple yet people will twist it and make it so complicated that it makes your brain melt just trying to think about it.. Ecclesiastes 12:13... It's so SO simple!

i heard that zadok calendar is started on 4th day which is always wednesday. If equinox is seen sunday to tuesday, you need to start the next week wednesday. DR jackson snyder has good explanation on the zadok calendar. i also receive the calendar from them yearly since i dont have a sun dial.

Happy and blessed to be here.

I was thinking of daniel's 70 weeks. IT is 7 times 70. That is 10 49 year jubilee cycles. The 50th jubilee year is part of the next jubilee cycle. it is not added making it 50 years and then the next cycle starts. It goes 49 years and hte jubilee starts the next 49 years. then at 98 years, the next jubilee happens. It's 10 jubilee cycles!

Wow! so many different comments and it seemed very clear to me. I'm keeping to the Luni-solar calendar. Thank you Adam!

I forgive you brother. Well done in bringing about the truth. Yahusha bless you greatly amen. Shalom

Thank you , Adam.

Doesn't Enoch have more information about the proper calendar than Jubilees?

If we can't Love WHO WE SEE WE CANT LOVE YAH THE WORD SAY SO SHALOM

I'm trying 1.5 speed. 1.25 speed was an improvement, but it's all about maximum learning

The Lord Messiah already told us. Even by his example of healing on the Sabbath.. If you are doing work on the Sabbath let your work be pleasant in sight of Yah. Yah and his ways are forever..He does not change.

Thoughts… We as a family read the book of Jubilees together. Several times the comments were made by our teen children: “wow, this sounds a lot like the Pharisees wrote it…” Qumran community was just a mile from Jerusalem, temple, and all things Pharisee and Sadducee. Thus, I totally understand just whom Yahusha talked about in a parable of the Good Samaritan. Guess who walked by the wounded man? And why? They were the ones who separated themselves from all real humans and “walked” to their jobs every day, saving the ignorant and vagabonds. Now I totally understand why Yahusha kept saying: “it is written in your law”. Their Book of Jubilees, with various additions to Yahs Torah, explains it all. For it was THEEEE book THEY taught, a commentary of sorts, to the True Torah of Yah. To this day, it’s all the commentaries of their sages they teach, but not the Torah exclusively. When Yahusha quoted: “you have heard them say: “love your neighbor and hate your enemy”. But I say onto you…” It is because He explained the True Word given from the beginning, the Truth that was given them by the mouth of Yah at the mountain by Moses. The Torah we read today. While all “they say” was from the book of Jubilees and others like it. Whatever “angels” gave/wrote the Book of Jubilees is questionable now…for even satan masquerades himself as the angel of light… Now I understand why Yahusha said to every person healed: take up your bed and walk/go… The Book of Jubilees forbids that. Yahusha touched the leper. Jubilees forbids that. Yahusha healed on the Sabbath. Jubilees forbids that. Yahusha walked/jouneyed on the Sabbath day. Jubilees forbids that. Yahusha cast the demons out of a man from Gadarene region. Betcha He was touching or was touched by a “filthy gentile”. Jubilees forbids that. Yahusha allowed a Sydonian woman to fall at and grab a hold of His feet, begging healing for her daughter. Betcha she was unclean as heck! Jubilees forbids that. When a Centurion asked for healing for his servant whom he loved, Yahusha agreed to go with him and enter his house. Jubilees forbids that. Forget a fallen woman pouring oil on His feet and kissing them! Jubilees forbids that! What about entering the house of Matthew? Telling people to unbind/touch a 4 day old corpse of a living now Lazarus? Etc.etc.etc. Yeah… John the Baptist lived among the Qumran community for a while because he was the son of a priest. Once his mother died, he left that community, and later called them all kinds of colorful things… Why? Because they, themselves, were not a legit priests and leadership of God’s people, but a mixture of God knows what after the Maccabees re-invented it all, including Torah. But John was a real descendant of a real priestly family of Aharon. And that’s why they killed him. Basically, lots to ponder now… There are a lot of things written in Jubilees that are beautiful and true according to the Torah of Yahuah. But a lot are very questionable and do not agree with the Torah. And we must hold on to the Truth of Yah, for our eternity depends on it! We love the moon! The sun is alright too😁 Still unsure about a 13th month tho… Although explained by you, there is still a check within our being regarding it… Thank you, Adam, for this video. Saved it to my Calendar playlist. Thanks for the link to print and follow, definitely will do that! A very timely gem 💎 Yah bless you and all who love His appearing🙏🏻 Yahuah reigns! Blessed be His Name, He is good, and His mercy endures forever!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you very much for your video. I found it very intriguing and lots of information to check out. I am terribly saddened to hear that some would send you hate mail for any reason. I sometimes wonder if Yah deliberately keeps us in calendar confusion to see how we will treat one another. Blessings to you.!

A lot of excellent points on Jubilees. I share some of your concerns. The Zadok is my pick for most likely the best calendar, but you raise great questions with the moon. I will definitely look into this more. My main appeal is that feast days are in the proper timeframe every year, unlike lunar calendars. More work is needed for sure.

Yeah brother I have had people (Torah keepers) delete my wife as a friend from Facebook when she posted a video I did on this topic. I also had 3 families break away from our group and started slandering me because of this topic. Hang in there brother we will receive persecution like our messiah did. It’s so hard to take and it breaks my heart but wanted to offer encouragement and let you know you are not the only one.

Praise our Father for your teachings, brother 👊🏽

the Lord is restoring His calendar. like any truth that is restored there is a war against it. by guess who.

Just because the book of jubilees is not scripture, or because the comunity in Qumran were adding to The Word. Why should that disprove the 364 day Enoch calendar ?
